Chapter 59: The Queen's Song

Du Ting returned from Hong Kong to work.

As soon as I arrived, I told Shen Lang that the three advertising songs, "Sweet" by Mengniu Yogurt, "Dragon Fist" by Coca-Cola, and "Steady Happiness" by Huiren Shenbao, were all well received.

Then, the commercials for Mengniu Yoghurt and Coca-Cola will be made into music videos.

Okay, we can do it together.

Recording songs and shooting MVs with Tian Zhen and Jin Haixin went very smoothly and it was not difficult for them.

I was busy in Yanjing for seven whole days.

It is January 1th, and there are only eleven days left before the filming of the drama "Love Across Time and Space" starts.

Shen Lang, Du Ting and Ning Hao rushed to Hong Kong without stopping.

His album of duets between men and women only lacks four songs: "It's Hard to Fall in Love", "Because of Love", "Parting with Good Intentions" and "Damadan".

Anita Mui, Wang Jingfei, Coco Lee and Kelly Chen are all big names and need to coordinate their schedules.

After waiting for a whole day, Chen Huilin was free first.

The song "Parting with Good Intentions" is only three minutes long.

The MV was shot entirely indoors.

It can be done in one day.

Chen Huilin left after finishing the job.

There is not much communication with Shen Lang.

He understands too.

First of all, I am not familiar with it;
Secondly, Kelly Chen is indeed busy. This year she will release a new album "Fly", as well as the "Flower Universe" world tour, which will take her all the way from Genting, Malaysia, Toronto, Canada, Atlantic City, Chicago, USA, to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu and Beijing in the mainland, so her schedule is quite tight.

The only one who had time the next day was Li Wen.

Shen Lang’s fellow senior sister.

That’s right, Li Wen is also an artist under Xinso Records.

But the difference is that Shen Lang signed a contract with a new artist from mainland China. Currently, he is the only artist, and Zhou Xun is his partner.

Li Wen signed the new US contract.

Very nice people.

When we met, I expressed my love for the song "Damadan".

A valuable professional microphone was also given as a gift.

Shen Lang traveled through time on July 2024, 7.

Naturally, you will know the tragedy that happened to Li Wen.

Like Zhang Guorong, who suffers from depression, he would provide help to the best of his ability if possible.

The busiest ones are Anita Mui and Wang Jingfei.

After waiting for a day, I met Anita Mui.

One of the legendary figures in the Chinese music scene, she is known as "Hong Kong's Big Sister" and "Hong Kong's Daughter".

After entering the 21st century, Anita Mui was no longer active in the front line. She set up her own Mui Music production company and became more actively committed to the exchange and cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong performing arts industry, as well as the promotion of younger generations.

The reason I collaborated with Shen Lang this time was, on the one hand, because I liked the song "It's Hard to Love", and on the other hand, because I felt that he had great musical talent and was worthy of recommendation to the Hong Kong music scene.

"Hello, Miss Mei."

"Hello, sit down, there's no need to be so restrained."

Shen Lang took a look at Mei Yanfang. Her condition at this moment was much worse than before.

In 99, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer after a medical examination.

At that time, the attending physician revealed that there was hope for recovery, but the uterus needed to be removed. Hearing this, she resolutely chose to give up treatment.

Many people in the circle have advised her to receive treatment, but she is very stubborn and will not easily change her mind about things she has made up her mind about. Even if she has to endure great pain, she wants to be a real woman and does not want her life to be imperfect.

By 2003, her condition had deteriorated.

In the end, her legendary journey ended at the age of 40.

Shen Lang had nothing to say about this and could only sigh.

In the recording studio of Anita Mui’s own company.

Anita Mui: "It would be best to love forever, but who can regard love as a lifelong hobby..."

Shen Lang: "The purpose of life is to find a partner. Facing reality, passionate love will soon turn into a long-term relationship..."

This song touched Anita Mui's heart. Her career was booming, but her personal life was not going as she wished.

She has always longed for love, but she didn't get it from her family, so she hoped to make up for it in love.

It's not like she hasn't had a passionate love experience.

The "scumbag" Masahiko Kondo, the fitness coach Paul, and the evangelist Zhao Wenzhuo who is still preaching today.

But when they were with her, they would be accused by the media of being gigolos and pursuing fame and fortune, so that several relationships ended in regret.

Someone once said that love might be an unsolvable math problem for Anita Mui. The problem was not with her, but that no one was worthy of her.

When she was a guest on "Xiaoyan Interview", she said sadly: "The world seems to owe me a lot. Why am I like this? Why do I have to do that? Why don't I have what others have?"

For her, falling in love is difficult, really difficult.

Although I was touched by the song, especially with Shen Lang's unique voice, the feeling of wanting something but not getting it was even deeper.

But now, she is not the kind of person who cries so easily.

"Your Cantonese is quite standard. Have you ever been to eastern Guangdong or Hong Kong?" After recording twice, during the break, Anita Mui brought up a topic.

"I like the Beyond band very much and always sing their songs. Later, I learned a little Cantonese by myself. I am only okay for singing, but not for communicating." Shen Lang spoke truthfully without the initial restraint.

"It's already very good. At least you can't hear the Cantonese accent of people from other provinces," Anita Mui praised.

Shen Lang smiled faintly and said nothing.

“I saw on the news that you write songs very quickly, and you create them on the spot during a live radio program.” Anita Mui was quite curious and interested in this.

"There are times when I write fast, and times when I write slowly, depending on whether I have any inspiration at the time." Shen Lang explained vaguely.

"Do you think I'll have a chance to sing the song you wrote?" Anita Mui joked.

"It's my honor." Shen Lang replied.

"I took it seriously." Mei Yanfang said with a smile.

"Of course." Shen Lang said seriously.

If the queen asks me to sing a song for you, I will definitely give it to her. I'll use your popularity and you use my songs.

But he doesn't know many of Anita Mui's songs.

"Sunset Song", "Woman Flower" and "Dear Lover" have all been released.

There is only one song left, "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World".

This is also a duet between a man and a woman.

I didn't choose this song before because he couldn't sing it with that feeling.

This song was released on March 2002, 3, and was sung by Anita Mui and Rosina Chang.

It can be given as a favor.

Anita Mui was warm, generous, and approachable, and she had no airs of a big star at all.

Under her guidance, Shen Lang gradually relaxed.

After the two had a good chat, they continued recording the song.

When it comes to singing, Anita Mui doesn't do anything fancy or show off her skills, but focuses on storytelling and visuals.

This makes her singing direct and infectious.

The queen is the queen, and her strength is evident.

After recording the song in the morning, Anita Mui invited Shen Lang to have dinner at a small restaurant she often went to.

The queen also has a down-to-earth side.

Simple barbecued pork rice, roast goose and pineapple buns.

During the conversation, the two talked about MVs.

Anita Mui wanted to change the script.

After listening to the demo of the song "It's Hard to Love", a story emerged in her mind.

She really wanted to take a picture of it.

Shen Lang agreed.

It’s not because of the other party’s identity.

He doesn't care too much about the MV script, as long as it doesn't deviate too much from the theme of the song.
