"what?"

This was the second time Shen Lang was surprised today. He immediately became serious and asked, "Brother Qian, is it the plot that feels wrong? Or is it the actor's acting that's wrong? Or is it something else wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Qian Guosheng took off his sunglasses, pointed at his red eyes, and said with a smile: "Is it right to make my eyes like this?"

Shen Lang burst out laughing. It turned out that he was moved by the MV. He let out a long breath and said, "Brother Qian, you scared me to death. I thought you had to reshoot it."

Qian Guosheng laughed and said, "It's too good, no need to reshoot." Then he stopped smiling and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Shen Lang sighed and said, "You're so polite... I don't even know what to say."

Qian Guosheng raised his hand to lift his shoulder and said, "Come on, have a couple of drinks with me."

This time I only drank two glasses.

Qian Guosheng has a dinner party in the evening, so he can't drink too much.

Shen Lang didn't have to carry him back to the room.

"If you need money for releasing an album or holding a concert in the future, just ask me."

"With what you said, I won't be polite."

"Being polite means you don't consider me your friend."

The two chatted about everything at the dinner table and felt like close friends.

In the entertainment industry, background and capital are equally important.

With a financial sponsor, you have multiple choices and multiple paths.

Return to the basement in the evening.

Shen Lang began to think about the song to be sung for Stefanie Sun.

It's not that it's hard to find, it's just that there are too many to choose from.

"Let's use her song first."

Shen Lang decided to choose a song from Stefanie Sun's unreleased songs.

If you don't use it, you won't use it.

Zhou Jianhui: Okay, okay, you want to use our songs to make money from us, right?

Isn't that what time travelers do?

"The more famous ones are, "What I Miss", "Against the Light", "Green Light"..."

Shen Lang finally settled on "Meeting".

This song is the theme song of the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right" and is included in Stefanie Sun's album "The Moment" released by Warner on August 2003, 8.

The song won the first place in Hitfm's 2003 Top 2004 Singles, as well as the gold award for the most popular song from Hong Kong and Taiwan at the 11th China Songs Chart in and the most requested song in Asia.

No need to worry about quality.

Search your memory and write out the lyrics, music, and arrangement.

The next day, I went to register the copyright first.

On the third day, the fax was sent to Zhou Jianhui.

"Didn't you say you can come out before the end of the month?"

"Why is it still three days?"

"Isn't this a perfunctory work?"

Zhou Jianhui frowned.

The young man looks neither humble nor arrogant, neither proud nor impatient, and very well-educated. How could he be so unreliable in doing things!
Shen Lang's impression score dropped sharply.

【--"meet"

Lyricist: Shen Lang

Composer: Shen Lang

Arranger: Shen Lang]

"and many more……"

When Zhou Jianhui looked at the fax paper.

His expression changed instantly.

The more I watch, the more excited I get.

“Great song!”

Zhou Jianhui was careless.

It's too hasty to draw conclusions without watching.

He really wanted to slap himself twice.

"Hey, Sisong, come to my office for a moment." "Hey, Stefanie, come to my office right now."

Zhou Jianhui called Li Sisong and Sun Yanzi separately.

He was eager to share the song with them.

But, Li Sisong won’t lose his temper, right?

After all, he is the producer of Stefanie Sun's album "The Happiness I Want" and the composer of the title song of the same name.

I can’t control that much anymore.

Shen Lang's "Meeting" must be the album's title song.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou."

The master and disciple met at the door and came in together.

They chatted briefly at the door, and no one knew why Zhou Jianhui called them there.

I guess it might be related to the new album.

"Sit down and talk." Zhou Jianhui's face was flushed. He asked the two to sit down and asked his secretary to serve coffee before asking, "Do you know Shen Lang?"

Li Sisong spoke first: "That amazing newcomer from the mainland?"

Zhou Jianhui nodded.

Stefanie Sun followed up by saying, “I bought his album.”

Zhou Jianhui added: "Give me some comments."

Li Sisong said without hesitation: "Very impressive, whether it's singing or writing songs, it gives people the feeling of a tiger coming down the mountain, like a gust of wind out of a cage, rushing into the Chinese music scene fiercely, making people unable to resist."

Stefanie Sun said objectively: "His voice is very unique, catching the ears and touching the heart. The styles of his songs are different. Each song is a story, and each story evokes a memory that makes people immersed in it."

All the comments were positive, and there was appreciation in their words. Zhou Jianhui nodded slightly, and this matter was easy to handle: "I went to Yanjing a few days ago and met with Shen Lang. I asked him to tailor a song for Stefanie."

At this point, Li Sisong and Sun Yanzi understood what was going on.

Immediately, Zhou Jianhui handed them a copy of the music score and said kindly, "First see if you like this song. If you don't, I'll give it to someone else."

He didn't say right away that this song should be the title song of the album.

Of course, he is the president and has the power.

But he values ​​both Li Sisong and Sun Yanzi very much, so there is no need to be unhappy about this matter.

Besides, he believed that after watching this song, the two would 100% accept this decision.

Li Sisong nodded repeatedly as he watched.

Shen Lang wrote simple lyrics with a bright style and slightly helpless feelings.

The melody and arrangement are a little sad, but also reveal strength.

The whole song can easily evoke people's emotional memories through the helplessness towards reality, making people immersed in the melancholy mood of love.

Very good, not inferior to his song "It's Dark", which can bring out the characteristics of Stefanie Sun's voice to the fullest.

After watching it three times, Stefanie Sun started humming softly.

"Hearing the departure of winter
I woke up in a certain month of a certain year

I think I’ll wait and look forward to it…”

As she sang, she immersed herself in the story.

Tailor-made for me?
Could it be about your encounter with me?
For example, the lyrics "Who will I meet and what kind of conversation will we have", "The person I'm waiting for, how far in the future is she?" and "I see that the entrance to Lu Meng is a bit narrow, and my meeting you is the most beautiful accident", "One day my mystery will be solved", it is too easy for her to associate it with these things.

"How is it?" Seeing that the two of them were silent, Zhou Jianhui became a little anxious and couldn't help but ask.

Sun Yanzi looked up, her expression of delight evident, and spoke first: "I want to sing this song."

Li Sisong said with emotion: "What a rare musical talent. He is only 22 years old. If he can keep it up, he will have a bright future."

Although he didn't express his opinion, his words also revealed his appreciation. Zhou Jianhui smiled with satisfaction and further said, "What I mean is, Sisong, put your song "The Happiness I Want" aside and use it as the title song for Stefanie's next album."

Sun Yanzi wanted to speak for the teacher, but Li Sisong said first: "I have no objection, this song needs to be better."

In 1996, the music school he and his brother Li Weisong founded had enrolled two classes of students.

Stefanie Sun had just graduated from college at that time. She signed up with the desire to play music and got a good ranking.

At that time, he was quite moved by the passion for music shown by this innocent little girl.

Later, Zhou Jianhui signed Stefanie Sun to Warner and asked the two brothers to produce an album for her.

He sincerely hopes that this apprentice can become famous and make a name for himself in the Chinese music scene.

So it doesn’t matter whether his song is used as the album’s title song or not.

Anyway, he will not lose a penny of the money he deserves.

In this way, the recording of the song "Meet" and the shooting of the MV were carried out in a tense and orderly manner.
