One person's entertainment

Chapter 38, Firing the first shot of the new year!
Zeng Xiaolai: "What he said were all my words!"

Shen Lingyou: "Whoever says this thing belongs to him or her."

……

Hu Dajing: "Don't hide, let's get it out there! Let me introduce you to Hao Jian, my boyfriend. Lao Gao, my ex-husband."

Chen Minghao: "Ex-husband, why don't you guys chat first? I just happen to have a meeting there."

……

Zhang Ziyi: "It's all over. Let me tell you, the brave man couldn't find his clothes or shoes, his phone or wallet when he got ashore. I wonder if they are all here with you!"

Liu Huohua: "Yes, it's with me, what's wrong?"

……

Rehearsing for one is rehearsing, and rehearsing for three is also rehearsing. Shen Lingyou simply called Chen Minghao and Liu Huohua's groups to rehearse together.

These three sketches are only 50% similar to the original, and the other half was added freely.

The final report works mainly check the lines, body shape, performance, etc. It does not need to be very funny or sensational, as long as it is good enough.

After a few days, everything was almost arranged.

Liu Huohua and Zhang Ziyi indeed have poor foundations, and many of their lines and performances looked very awkward.

Shen Lingyou tried his best and taught everything he could. In the end, the performance became much smoother and finally acceptable.

The saying “A teacher can only lead you to the door, but practice is up to you” is so true. If you want to learn well, you still need to work hard, work hard and practice more to learn it solidly.

You won’t know until you see it. It’s really shocking. I really don’t know how they both became the best actor and actress. The contrast is too big.

Another day of rehearsal ended, and Zhang Ziyi found a private opportunity to find Shen Lingyou and said, "Lingyou, thank you for your guidance these days. Otherwise, Huazi and I would definitely not pass the rehearsal on our own."

Shen Lingyou smiled faintly. He didn't fail the test. At most, he just passed the test. He said, "In fact, if you practice a few more times, you can achieve the same result as today. My guidance is not that amazing."

Zhang Ziyi praised him a few more times. His ability was obvious to all, and it could not be concealed by modesty. Moreover, he spoke more directly, and people could understand him at once. It was not as profound as the teacher's, and it was difficult to understand even after repeated thinking. After a few words, he finally said the real reason for looking for him: "Are you free tomorrow? I'll treat you to a meal."

"What a coincidence." Shen Lingyou shrugged and said, "I have something to do tomorrow, so I decided it a long time ago."

Zhang Zi listened to them one by one and had no choice but to say, "Then another day."

Next, the same scene appeared, with one person after another coming to invite Shen Lingyou to dinner.

He turned it down and they were unhappy.

Finally, all his dinner plans for the next week were arranged.

December 12st, Saturday, is the Winter Solstice.

As the saying goes, "On the winter solstice, the yang is born and the days become longer," which means the next cycle begins and it is an auspicious day.

Shen Lingyou came to the Red Star Production Company and heard Chen Jiantian say that his new album would be released on January 1st. He immediately said, "Brother Chen, it doesn't have to be released so soon. What I mean is that it can be released faster while ensuring the quality."

As the two became more familiar with each other, the way they addressed each other changed. Chen Jiantian said confidently, "Xiao Shen, you still don't trust me to do things. I will definitely guarantee the quality. The reason why it can be released on January 1st is that the MV and song recording were completed earlier than originally planned, which gave us enough time for post-production."

Since he couldn't get Shen Lingyou, he had to make money from him. He would get half of the profit from this album, so he couldn't be careless.

But hearing him say it is worse than seeing it with your own eyes. After watching the entire album, Shen Lingyou confirmed that he was not bragging and that the production level was first-rate.

It is also good to issue it on January 1st, the first day of the new year, to wish for good luck. Then the Chinese New Year will come soon, some will get their salaries, some will get lucky money, and purchasing power will be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and praised: "Brother Chen is amazing, you are worthy of being the number one agent in Hong Kong!"

"Well, if you can't be the first, you can be the third." Chen Jiantian laughed and made a joke. There are indeed agents who are better than him, but not many. He said, "The promotion will start tomorrow. You can choose a main song and put it on the charts."

The name of Shen Lingyou's album is "Shen Lingyou".

When he first decided to take the entrance exam for the Central Academy of Drama, many smart people jumped out and said that the name "Shen Lingyou" was not easy to pronounce and that he would never be popular in the entertainment industry. They also mocked him, saying that if they became popular, they would immediately go diving in a septic tank.

Well, he just didn't believe it and directly used his own name as the title of his first album.

In an era when information dissemination methods were scarce, the first thing to do to promote an album was to pick a "hit song".

The so-called title song is mainly used as a song to promote the album. The first title song is particularly important. The impression it leaves on the audience will affect or even determine the future "money prospects" of the entire album.

To hit the charts is to impact the major music charts, such as the more credible radio charts, the Chinese Music Chart, etc., with the aim of increasing exposure.

In addition, other promotional methods include making album posters and flyers, and distributing the flyers in places frequented by the target customer group, such as campuses, shopping malls, etc., to increase the target customer group's understanding of and interest in the album.

After the album is released, you can organize a signing event and invite the target customer groups to participate, interact with fans face to face, give autographs, take photos, and other activities to increase the stickiness and loyalty of the target customer groups.

Shen Lingyou had never really thought about this question, because these ten songs were carefully selected and all had the potential to be the main songs.

Side A is the main side of the album, which is centered on youth, so it should be "Goodbye Youth"?
Or "Sad Pacific" which was the title song of the album?
Or is it "Later", which was on the charts for 76 weeks and ranked first in 2000?
Seeing that he was hesitant, Chen Jiantian said, "My suggestion is to use 'Goodbye Youth'. It hits the point, and your singing is very catchy and touching. The lyrics can also resonate with listeners of different ages."

This song is not very popular. It became popular twice because of TV dramas and movies. The first time was the 2012 TV series "Yanjing Love Story", and the second time was the 2018 movie "Sadness Is Like a River". The song itself is not bad.

Shen Lingyou agreed with this choice and said, "Then let's go with "Goodbye Youth"."

Afterwards, Chen Jiantian talked to him about stocking up.

This time, the first batch of stock is 50 tickets, and they will be sold simultaneously in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Chen Jiantian is full of confidence. "Heart Too Soft" has already proved Shen Lingyou's strength, so this "opportunity" must be seized.

And the expected sales volume is 100 million copies!

To be able to sell this number of genuine copies already puts him at the level of a first-tier singer.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that we will stop selling after selling 100 million copies. This is just a goal, and the more we sell, the better.

Shen Lingyou was not very surprised, nor did he have any opinion.

I'd be surprised if it doesn't sell for this amount.

Just kidding, they are all carefully selected.

Let the album "Shen Ling You" and its name be the first shot of the new year!
However, he did not have dinner with Chen Jiantian. After leaving Red Star, he went straight to Beijing Film Academy to keep an appointment with Jiang Qinqin.
