Chapter 78: Are Four Actresses Enough?

"Then we will hold a script reading session on April 4 and 26, and then start filming on the 27th."

"Well, the 25th happens to be Friday. I'll ask the teacher for leave after class."

Shen Lingyou is taking leave this time and will end this semester directly.

"By the way, I learned from chatting with Lai Zi that your school does not allow freshmen and sophomores to go out to film during class time. Can you and her get leave?" Huo Wenxi asked.

"I have the privilege. As for Laizi, I will help her talk to the teacher. There shouldn't be any problem." Shen Lingyou replied.

In fact, it is not just his privilege. Mei Ting also took leave to film a movie.

Moreover, unlike the original time and space, Mei Ting did not fall out with the school and eventually dropped out of school on his own.

It can be seen that this regulation is not rigid and there is room for negotiation.

He talked about a lot of profound principles and was not afraid that Chang Li would disagree.

To take a step back, even if Zeng Xiaolai's leave is not approved, his role can be moved to the summer vacation.

In short, he considered all possible problems and came up with corresponding solutions.

This time, the filming of "Never Forget You" is a sure thing, with no failures and it must be shot not only quickly but also well.

"Aido and Zhang Yibai are both urging us. Should we shoot the MVs for "Loving You Is Loving Myself" and "Because of Love" and "The Wind Rises" today and tomorrow?" Huo Wenxi reported everything while he had time.

"Are they so anxious? Okay, let's just shoot these two MVs first." This disrupted Shen Lingyou's schedule a little, but it was not a big problem.

"Also, your new album has a total of 10 songs and only requires four actresses. Are you planning to shoot multiple MVs by yourself?" Huo Wenxi asked again.

"Each person shoots one MV. The main theme of this album is 'inspirational', without any romance. They are suitable to act as background boards for four of the songs, while the other six do not need female leads." Shen Lingyou explained.

Although the script was written by Zhang Wei, it was completely based on his ideas.

Since it is an inspirational song, the MV is more freehand and passionate.

When he releases albums later, he will follow this route and select songs based on one or two themes.

"I have already made all the contacts. Your vision..." Huo Wenxi said halfway and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up.

"Not bad, they are all one in a million." Shen Lingyou said with his chin raised.

"Each of them has their own characteristics. They are very youthful, fresh and beautiful." Huo Wenxi nodded in praise.

That's not the case.

In addition to the official MV heroine Zeng Xiaolai, this time we invited Yan Danchen, Chen Zihan and Sun Li.

They are all school beauties and are 18 or 19 years old, which is the most beautiful time in their lives, pure and without any impurities.

How come all the people you found are from Beijing Film Academy?

I have to admit that there are more beauties in Beijing Film Academy than in the Central Academy of Drama.

Of course, the main reason is that the eight golden hairpins from their class had already been used in the previous album, so naturally they had to use a different batch for the new album.

As for Zeng Xiaolai, he is definitely different now.

In the afternoon, Gravity Vision Photo Studio.

This is where we filmed the Aido VCD commercial last time. The venue is nice and we rented it for a day this time.

The song "Loving You Is Loving Myself" is three minutes and fifty-four seconds long, and the MV is planned to be shot in one day.

It’s so fast, mainly due to Shen Ling’s industrial style of wandering.

What do you mean?
It means arranging everything before shooting, so as to complete it in the shortest time possible.

"Lao Zhang, you are really talented. You can even write a script like this."

"Just thinking about it."

Shen Lingyou might not be able to write an exclusive MV for a VCD, and even if he could, it wouldn’t be as good as Zhang Wei’s.

Not only can it provide enough Aido VCD picture, but it will not look awkward or out of place.

Zhang Wei is definitely a talent.

Shen Lingyou felt that there was no problem, so he called it a day. On the way, he said to Zhang Wei, "For post-production, please be patient and work overtime to get it done as soon as possible and send it to Aido."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Okay, but it will take at least two to three days."

If I have to shoot a MV during the day, I can only do it at night.

Shen Lingyou naturally knew that this time was about the same.

I finished work early today and didn’t rush back to rest as I still have three songs left to record for the new album.

He also had to work overtime. Half an hour later, he returned to the Xinghuo office building.

Shen Lingyou went to the practice room first. Zeng Xiaolai, Qin Hao and others were still rehearsing inside, very seriously and hard.

After chatting with them for a few minutes, I came to the Spark Recording Studio. The moment I opened the door, I heard the singing of the Blue Ocean Band.

"Let us live a carefree life in this world of mortals
Riding horses and galloping to share the prosperity of the world
Sing to the wine and express the joy in your heart
Seize the youth with vigor and vitality..."

It is the theme song "Dang" of "My Fair Princess".

"Original Time and Space" was sung by the band Power Train. It is said that the composer took about a week to write the song, and they only took a day and a half to complete the recording.

Shen Lingyou can sing on his own, he has a wide range and his voice is quite explosive.

But it's not necessary.

Why not give Blue Ocean Band a chance to try?

He and Huo Wenxi both believed that Wu Xianliang and others had the potential to become famous, but they just lacked a good song.

And the song "When" is very suitable.

Seeing that no one noticed his coming, he simply stood in the corner and listened quietly.

Listened for a while.

Huo Wenxi was right. Wu Xianliang's singing skills tended to be the loud and white voice singing style without any vocal training.

This singing style has both advantages and disadvantages.

What flows is the youthful exuberance and uninhibited emotions, and it is particularly explosive and infectious.

However, singing at will is not as flawless as that of the academic school, lacking techniques such as seamless breathing, effortless switching between true and false voices, and eighteen turns of voice transitions.

How should I put it? This kind of singing style definitely has its audience, but there are also definitely people who don’t like it.

"Ah~~~ah~~~ah~~~"

Soon, the song ended with harmony.

"Clap clap clap..."

Shen Lingyou clapped his hands and stepped forward.

"Brother Shen!"

The audience was surprised to see him here and greeted him one by one.

Shen Lingyou nodded to them, and then asked the recording engineer: "Did you record this just now?"

The sound engineer replied: "Yes, this is their tenth take."

Shen Lingyou asked in a low voice: "Have you sung it so many times?"

Wu Xianliang laughed dryly, "I always felt that I didn't sing it well, and I sang it over and over again without realizing it."

Shen Lingyou could understand their feelings of cherishing a hard-won opportunity, and smiled with relief, saying, "You sang very well this time, you can use it."

If the songwriter said there was no problem, then there was certainly no problem. At this moment, Wu Xianliang and the others all had relaxed expressions on their faces. They had indeed put a lot of pressure on themselves.

Afterwards, Shen Ling swam into the recording studio.

"Hey~ Yeah~ Oh~ Roar~
I want to fly to the sky and be side by side with the sun
The world is waiting for me to change..."

When the song started, Wu Xianliang and the others' faces changed.

"Brother Shen is awesome!"

"This high note is comparable to Zhang Yusheng's."

"It's terrible. I can't get there even if I shout my throat out."

The tone is indeed very high.

The first note is d3, followed by a lot of a2 and b2. The chorus also has continuous c3 pronunciations, and the final high note reaches #d3. This is extremely difficult and few male singers can do it.

Shen Lingyou's wide vocal range is due to the system's transformation, and it has improved along with his [Singing] skill.

Let me put it this way, the highest level of "Love Until Death" is only D3.

In layman's terms, it can be understood as a version of "Love Until Death" with a faster and higher key melody.

"Love Until Death" is not something that ordinary people can handle, so you can imagine how terrifying "I Believe" is.

Amid everyone's amazement, Shen Lingyou recorded "I Believe" in just two takes.

There is no other way. I have to be extremely serious about this song because it takes a lot of strain on my voice to sing it once.

In the evening, Shen Lingyou prepared dinner.
