One person's entertainment

Chapter 30, Chen Jiantian gave up [Seeking follow-up reading, seeking monthly votes]

It was still raining on Saturday. It was cold enough in the capital in November, and it got even colder when it rained.

The MV could not be filmed due to the rain, so Shen Lingyou ran to the Red Star Production Company to start recording the song.

time is money.

"Goodbye Youth

Goodbye beautiful pain

Goodbye, the hometown of eternal youth

Goodbye Youth
Goodbye brilliant sadness

Goodbye to the eternal confusion of youth. "

Without exaggeration or understatement, Wang Banbi's creative ability is considered top-notch among mainland musicians. Of course, his ability to get married is also among the best. Zhang Ziyi, who was married for the fourth time in 2023, has divorced.

"Goodbye Youth" and "Yanjing, Yanjing" are songs from the TV series "Yanjing Love Story". It is worth mentioning that these two songs are not new works, but they became popular because of this drama.

"Goodbye Youth" will make the listeners fall into the sadness of the passing of youth just as its title suggests. This song is a farewell to youth, but the lyrics do not express the memories after middle age. Instead, the scene is set on the eve of leaving hometown. One thought it would be a journey full of hope, but it turned out to be a "heartbroken dawn".

Chen Jiantian, who was outside the recording studio, understood what the song was about the day he saw the lyrics.

Now listening to Shen Lingyou singing, a myriad of thoughts come to my mind as I listen to that voice that seems to have invisible magic.

Thinking of myself coming from Hong Kong to the mainland for music development, and thinking of Ka Kui going from Hong Kong to Japan for music development, their youth is music, beautiful pain, brilliant sadness...

He was filled with emotion for a moment and didn't even realize that Shen Lingyou had finished singing.

"Mr. Chen? Mr. Chen?"

Chen Jiantian finally came to his senses after hearing Shen Lingyou's repeated calls, and asked, "Ah, what are you talking about?"

Shen Lingyou repeated: "I'm asking, can I sing well?"

Chen Jiantian regained his professional demeanor and commented, "You sang very well. How to sing a song well, or how to sing to impress people, everyone has their own understanding. What I think is that a singer, whether a newcomer or a singing god, must have his or her own ideas and put emotions into the song. Every note and every word has its own soul and emotion. You just did it. I don't think you need to record it a second time."

In the past, he was the one staring blankly at Shen Lingyou, but now it was the other way around.

After Shen Lingyou heard what he said, he thought, is this true? Are you flattering me?

Every time he sings, he devotes himself wholeheartedly, trying his best to do his best in both technique and emotion.

Thanks to the help of the system, he has acquired the singing skills of a professional singer.

But having good singing skills does not mean that the songs you sing can move people. These are two different things.

What he follows is that any kind of artistic creation, if you want to move others, you must first move yourself.

Only when you enter into the song yourself can you resonate and empathize with the listeners.

"Okay, that's all for today. No more recording." Shen Lingyou took off his monitoring headphones and stretched. He had recorded two songs in the past few hours and sang them seven or eight times. He felt very tired. He never thought that singing could be a physical activity. People with poor health would suffer from deprivation of oxygen while singing.

"You can handle a wide range of song types. The previous song, 'Gardenia Blossoms', was light and subtle, giving people a fresh feeling. Then there was an immediate change with this song, 'Goodbye Youth', which brought a sense of power and tearing, giving people a rough, bold and surging feeling." Chen Jiantian couldn't help but praise him again.

"It's okay, just so-so." Shen Lingyou said modestly.

The varied singing styles and wide vocal range are all thanks to the system.

You know, this is just the case of unlocking a few abilities. Once you upgrade to the highest level [Pinnacle] and unlock all abilities, you can’t imagine how awesome it will be.

He finally understood why some people like to cheat when playing games. Although it is very disgusting, the experience is really fun. "The copyright authorization contract has been sent to me. If you think it is okay, just sign it. The money will be in your account tomorrow afternoon."

"I'm sorry to have been bothering you lately. I will find an agent as soon as possible."

As soon as Shen Lingyou said this, Chen Jiantian realized that he had no chance, and he also knew that this kind of thing could not be forced. He immediately let it go and said with a smile: "Do you want me to introduce you? I know quite a few agents."

Shen Lingyou said embarrassedly: "Will this be too much trouble for you?"

Chen Jiantian smiled and said, "It's a small matter. Wait for my news."

Shen Lingyou thanked him: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Chen first."

If you want to start a company now, you may not have enough capital at the moment, so finding a broker is both possible and necessary.

After all, he is a student with limited time and cannot handle many things. With an agent, he can let him do things for him.

However, you must find someone reliable, so that you don't end up like Wang Baoqiang, whose home is robbed, which would be a waste of time.

Afterwards, the two came to Chen Jiantian's office.

Shen Lingyou received the authorization contract, read it twice item by item, and signed his name only after confirming that there were no problems.

It’s not that I don’t trust Chen Jiantian, but he takes copyright very seriously, so it’s better to be cautious.

After signing the contract, it was getting late, so he said goodbye and left.

Since it took him more than ten minutes to take a taxi, he made another decision, which was to schedule his driving lessons and driver's license test on his schedule, otherwise traveling would be inconvenient.

Once the copyright money arrives, it will be more than enough to buy a car.

The next day, the weather cleared up and my mood cleared up too.

Shen Lingyou came back from morning exercise early in the morning, changed his clothes, and prepared to call Zeng Xiaoli and Hu Dajing to discuss the MV script.

As soon as he walked out of the dormitory, his pager rang. He took it out of his pocket and saw that it was Jiang Qinqin calling him, saying that she would meet at the gate of the Central Academy of Drama at 9:30 this morning.

It is now exactly nine o'clock, which means that half an hour later, the plan to find Zeng Xiaoli and Hu Dajing can only be postponed. Jiang Qinqin should have come up with the decision on whether the director of "Kangxi's Private Visits 1" needs the song "Jiangshan Wuxian" or not.

She shouldn't look down on it, even though she is the original partner. But the current situation is that the lyricist and composer have changed. He is currently a "less well-known singer-songwriter", while the original lyricist is the screenwriter of this drama, Zou Jingzhi, and the composer is the well-known composer Zhao Jiping. They can't be compared.

Just like that, Shen Lingyou arrived outside the school gate with a mixed feeling of nervousness yet confidence.

Jiang Qinqin showed up on time. When she saw him, she couldn't wait to say, "Half of your work is done. The director didn't come yesterday because of something urgent. But after listening to the song demo, Teacher Guo Li liked it very much and wanted to meet you. The director will come today."

Shen Lingyou's worries were swept away, and he asked, "Where is the meeting?"

Jiang Qinqin replied: "Let's meet at Donglaishun Restaurant."

Okay, it’s finally not the China Hotel anymore.

There are no delicious foods in Yanjing, but there are many famous restaurants. I don’t know why I always like to go to this one.

Could it be that it’s because it has the word “Huaxia” on it, which makes it look more classy?

Shen Lingyou shook his head and smiled, then said to Jiang Qinqin: "Let's go, let's go over there."
