One person's entertainment

Chapter 16, Make a Bet
Central Academy of Drama, Dormitory 203.

“One plate per person, one ticket per person, thank you for your support!”

Chen Jiantian prepared 30 tapes and 30 CDs for Shen Lingyou, which was a very good arrangement. He could send them to his parents, classmates and teachers, and there would be some left over.

The first ones to get it were naturally the three roommates who were close to the water and got it first.

"Wow, Ling You, you take such a handsome photo."

"She's so mature, she doesn't look like a 19-year-old at all."

"So handsome, so damn handsome, I'm so envious!"

Qin Hao, Liu Huohua and Chen Minghao each held a tape and a CD, and then started praising them.

Although this compilation album has ten songs, as Chen Jiantian said, the main song is still "Heart Too Soft".

Therefore, the covers of the tapes and CDs are mainly based on Shen Lingyou and "Heart Too Soft", with fashionable promotional posters and the song titles occupying one-third of the cover.

A good image is conducive to album sales, and Chen Jiantian will definitely make good use of Shen Lingyou's face.

Shen Lingyou had nothing to say about this. Apart from being a little thin, this body was first-rate in height and appearance.

Ignoring his roommate's flattery, Shen Lingyou looked at the tapes and CDs on his own.

Ok……

It's really good.

The remaining nine songs were truly treated as "tool songs", with only a line of small text introducing the song title and singer.

Shen Lingyou picked up his Walkman, put the tape in, and listened to it briefly. There was no noise or jams.

This money cannot be saved. If the sound quality of the genuine product is the same as that of the pirated product, who would choose to support the genuine product?

He couldn't play the CD, but the school had a machine, but he couldn't access it.

Never mind, the tape isn't bad, and the CD must be the same.

In the afternoon, tapes and CDs were given away, including to Chang Li.

"This Shen Lingyou has been criticized by the whole school, yet he still dares to come and give an album." A teacher shook his head.

"That's called thoughtfulness." Another teacher laughed.

"Now that it's been sent, let's listen to how he sings and how the MV is shot." Chang Li said lightly.

There is a machine in the office that Shen Lingyou cannot access.

Put the CD in.

Picture, music.

"You are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted, crying alone until dawn..."

Ok?
The singing seems to be quite good.

The song sounds good.

The MV was shot realistically.

Several teachers were listening and watching with an appreciative attitude. From the moment Shen Lingyou opened his voice to the unfolding of the plot, the more time went on, the more surprised they were.

By the end of the song, I even had doubts. Was this a freshman who had just entered college? This was clearly something that only a professional singer, actor, and director could do.

"Teacher Li, what do you think?"

"Wait for me to slow down."

It takes time to digest, it's a bit unbelievable.

Chang Li's eyebrows frowned and relaxed, obviously she did not expect Shen Lingyou to drop such a bombshell. She initially thought that it was an attempt made by young people driven by their playfulness and curiosity, but she never thought that it would be such a highly completed work.

At this moment, her mind emerged with what Shen Lingyou said here that day: "I have been traveling around the country with my parents to do business since I was a child. I have been influenced by them. I can be said to be more accurate in judging people and things than my peers." It is indeed true.

But she couldn't figure out when Shen Lingyou learned all these. No matter how talented he was, how could a person who knew nothing improve to this level in just over two months?

"Teacher Chang, Shen Lingyou..."

The other teachers all looked at Chang Li. As the head teacher of the 96 Performance Class, she had the most say.

Chang Li pursed his lips, neither praising nor criticizing, and said relatively objectively: "Whether a pop song is good or not depends on the individual. Personally, I think Shen Ling You and "Heart Too Soft" are both good. As for the MV, it was shot well, but there are still many immature parts in the performance. Overall, it's passable."

She has very high requirements for performance, so this evaluation is already very high.

You know, this was created by a group of freshmen. At the same time, Shen Lingyou's gold content is still rising.

At this time, in the classroom, Shen Lingyou was surrounded by his classmates.

Mei Ting, who was lively just now, jokingly asked him for an autograph after receiving the tapes and CDs he gave her, saying that these tapes and CDs would be valuable when he became a big star in the future.

Hearing this, everyone followed suit.

Some people were joking, while others believed it would come true.

Shen Lingyou did not refuse and went to the autograph session in advance.

I'm thinking that the tape and CD in your hands are second only to the master tape in value, so you must keep them well.

Zeng Xiaolai took the tape and CD in his hands and looked at them over and over again, with a smile on his face from time to time.

She really wanted to listen and watch, to hear the difference between Shen Lingyou's singing on the record and his live singing, and to see what she looked like in the MV.

But the conditions do not allow...

At night, the moon is hidden by the stars, and the cold wind blows.

Chen Jiantian was in the company's office, sitting opposite him was his deputy Zhan Hua.

Hongxing may seem very big on the surface, but in fact it has only a few internal departments, and only a few people are in charge of both big and small matters.

At this moment, the two of them were tuning channels on a radio.

"Got it, got it." Chen Jiantian let out a sigh of relief. The signal was cut off at the critical moment, but fortunately he found it again.

"It's rare to see you care so much about a newcomer." Zhan Hua just returned to Yanjing this afternoon and has not yet listened to Shen Lingyou's "Too Soft Heart". He is mainly responsible for planning and publicity in Red Star. He participated in the production of many well-known albums, including Zheng Jun's "Naked", Tian Zhen's "Tian Zhen", the compilation "Red Star No. 1", the Paradise Band's "The Beginning of Man", the Cobra Band's "Cobra", etc.

"You'll understand once you listen to it." Chen Jiantian kept it a secret.

"Give your good and bad moods to our notes, and we will scatter them into the sky, so that happiness can be shared and sadness can disappear."

Hello everyone, it is 97.4: pm Yanjing time now, welcome to the MHz Yanjing Music Radio "Love Longer".

"I am the host of this program, Liu Hui. This program is hosted by me, the stage manager Tang Yunshi, and the director Shi Jinjing. We will bring you beautiful songs and stories..."

At this time, the opening remarks of the program came from the radio, which was the program promoting "Heart Too Soft".

Chen Jiantian and Zhan Hua stopped talking and listened quietly.

"There was a loving couple, their relationship was very good, until one day the husband got addicted to gambling..."

"Everyone has his or her own story. That gentle emotion makes us warmer. Next, let us feel the sincerity and affection in the song. Please enjoy the song "Heart is Too Soft" sung by singer Shen Lingyou..."

"You are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted, crying alone until dawn..."

Chen Jiantian has listened to it countless times and still never gets tired of it.

Zhan Hua nodded frequently while listening.

After the song was over, Liu Hui's voice rang out: "I hope neither you nor I will cry alone until dawn. This is a new song. The tapes and CDs are available in audio-visual stores in major cities. Listeners who like it can go and buy it."

Chen Jiantian turned the knob to lower the volume of the radio, and then asked Zhan Hua expectantly, "What do you think?"

Zhan Hua said calmly: "The singing is good and the song is good, but this song alone is not worth your attention."

Chen Jiantian smiled and said, "He was only 19 years old..." Then he told the story of how Shen Lingyou created "Too Soft Heart".

Zhan Hua's view has changed, but not completely: "It's pretty impressive, but what if this song is just a flash in the pan? There are many examples of people peaking at the debut and singing one song for a lifetime in the Chinese music scene."

Chen Jiantian said confidently: "Intuition."

Zhan Hua looked defeated by him and said, "I have nothing to say. Your intuition is very accurate, but..." Then he changed the subject and said, "I am not pouring cold water on you. There are many examples in the Chinese music scene of critical acclaim but poor commercial success."

Chen Jiantian didn't care and said, "How about making a bet?"

Zhan Hua asked, "How do you bet?"

Chen Jiantian thought for a moment and said, "If we sell all 50000 tapes and 10000 CDs within seven days, I win. Otherwise, if you win, the bet is a meal at the Hua Xia Hotel."

Zhan Hua smiled and said, "Let's bet!"
