Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 72: Captivating all beings, peerless beauty
"Mr. Zhou, long time no see. I miss you so much."

"I'm afraid you don't miss me."

The person who called Shen Lang was Zhou Jianhui, president of Warner Records, and the two hugged each other.

Zhou Jianhui said with great admiration: "Congratulations, your first album has been nominated for seven awards, breaking the record for individual nominations at the Golden Melody Awards."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "It's a lot, but you may not be able to take it all. I think you will gain a lot tonight."

Zhou Jianhui laughed and said, "You are still so humble. I am happy whether Stefanie or you win the award."

Then he introduced a middle-aged man next to him, who was Stefanie Sun’s father.

Shen Lang greeted politely: "Hello, uncle."

Father Sun had been responsible for his daughter's daily life and had heard about her work. He knew that Shen Lang had written a good song for his daughter and that they had sung another song together. Today, he was able to meet him and he was indeed a handsome man. He said in a kind manner, "Hello, Stefanie grew up in Singapore and doesn't know much about the situation in China. I will have to rely on your care in the future."

Shen Lang said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Uncle, you are too polite. Yan Zi and I care about each other and make progress together."

After a few pleasantries, Sun's father sat down.

Zhou Jianhui smiled and said, "With our relationship, I won't beat around the bush. I have something to ask of you. Stefanie will be releasing an album in the second half of the year, and I want you to write a title song for it."

When business came to him, Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. It's easy to talk about whether to ask for it or not."

Zhou Jianhui is a good person in dealing with people. After the song "Meeting" became popular, he also gave a big red envelope.

This is the kind of person he likes to work with.

Besides, it’s for Stefanie Sun.

After the chat, Shen Lang walked towards the front row.

"Ouch, sorry."

"Jeren."

"You, you know me?"

"Nanjielun, who doesn't know that?"

"No, no, no, I'm still far from it."

"that's humble."

……

Zhou Jielun got up to go to the bathroom, but he didn't pay attention to the road and bumped into Shen Lang.

He knew Shen Lang, a man who was even more powerful than him.

As far as music is concerned, he is better at composing music, and occasionally writing lyrics and arranging music, but Shen Lang does it all by himself, and his works are all of high quality.

Tonight, the two are in direct competition.

But as far as this first side is concerned, there is no sense of confrontation.

After the little episode, Shen Lang still failed to go to Sun Yanzi as he wished and was intercepted by Anita Mui.

"I told you, Alang, a very talented singer."

"Amei always praises you. I listen to the song "It's Hard to Love" over and over again. I'm almost fed up with her."

Mei Yanfang introduced Zhang Guorong to Shen Lang.

Zhang Guorong is 6 years older than Anita Mui.

They have different personalities too, one is extrovert and loves making friends, the other is a homebody and doesn't like to make trouble, but they have become each other's best friends in the circle.

In fact, many people think that the two of them are a very compatible and well-matched couple.

When Zhang Guorong's mother passed away, the person closest to the heartbroken Zhang Guorong was Anita Mui.

When Anita Mui's sister passed away, it was Zhang Guorong who always spoke softly to comfort Anita Mui.

They felt each other's pain so deeply, but they always said that they were not lovers and could never become lovers.

In the end, they became a pair of brother and sister whose relationship was stronger than blood relationship.

When Shen Lang saw these two regrettable figures in the Chinese entertainment industry, he felt so much emotion in his heart that he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to call Du Ting.

After a while, Du Ting came into the inner room and gave Shen Lang some papers.

This is the score of the song "Fang Hua Jue Dai". Last time Anita Mui asked him to write a song, he didn't take it as a joke. He wrote down the song and registered the copyright.

Today I knew Anita Mui would attend the award ceremony, so I brought it with me and left it with Du Ting to see if she would give it to her.

Now it can be given.

Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong are both part of Shen Lang's fond memories of Hong Kong music and films in his previous life.

Although I don’t consider them as idols like Beyond, I still like them.

"Did you really write a song for me?" Anita Mui exclaimed.

"You and your brother's songs and movies helped me get through the most difficult times. It's my honor to work with you." Shen Lang said sincerely.

"I came here to present an award and also won a song. I am the luckiest person tonight." Zhang Guorong said with a smile.

And when the two looked at the song on the paper.

【——《The Most Beautiful Youth》

Composer: Shen Lang

Lyricist: Shen Lang

Arranger: Shen Lang]

I was attracted at first sight.

After reading the lyrics, Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep love.

This song seems to be written about them, who are so charming and beautiful.

Then, the two looked at Shen Lang.

His eyes were filled with deep appreciation and admiration.

If this isn’t musical genius, what is?
Shen Lang felt embarrassed by their stares, so he found an excuse and went to the row where the newcomers were.

This time, he still sat next to Sun Yanzi.

"Today you are..."

"I chose it myself. Doesn't it look like a hedgehog?"

“Simple but not simplistic, very beautiful.”

The two of them knew each other very well, so there was no need for complicated polite conversation when they met.

Shen Lang tilted his head towards Sun Yanzi and said in a low voice, "I just met with my uncle. My uncle entrusted you to me and asked me to take good care of you."

When Sun Yanzi heard this, she immediately said, "My father would never say that. You must have made it up."

Shen Lang said seriously: "If you don't believe me, go ask your uncle yourself."

Sun Yanzi stared into his eyes, as if to make sure whether he was lying or not. Finally, she smiled suddenly and said, "I won't be fooled by you."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou just asked me for a song. What kind of song do you want?"

This one is more realistic. Sun Yanzi thought about it and said, "I like everything you write."

Shen Lang felt comfortable hearing these words. His eyes flickered as he said, "Well, I'll write you a more interesting song."

interesting?
What do you mean?
Just when Stefanie Sun was about to ask more questions, the host came on stage and the award ceremony started warming up. She had to sing a song soon, so she had to give up and said, "I will have my show later. I'll go backstage to prepare."

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Soon, with Wu Zongxian's announcement, the award ceremony officially began.

Singers from Formosa Province, including Stefanie Sun and Chih-Hsuan Lin, sang the opening song "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

The first award presented was a small one, the Best Music Video Award, which was won by "Taekwondo" by Magic Rock Records.

Then there are four musician-related awards: composition, lyricist, arranger and album producer.

The person who attracted the most attention in the audience was Shen Lang, because he was shortlisted for all four awards.

"Please look at the big screen. The nominees for the Best Composer Award are..."
