Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 76, Obsession

May 5th, Ming Tombs.

In front of the camera, Gao Yuanyuan got up from the ground, turned around and looked around.

"Where am I?"

As soon as Gao Yuanyuan finished speaking, a group of extras in modern costumes entered the scene.

"Everyone, follow me. This is the Ming Tombs, which are the tombs of the thirteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty after the capital was moved to Beijing. In 1409, Emperor Zhu Di built the Changling Mausoleum here, and it remained there until the Ming Dynasty fell in 1644..."

The camera zooms in to give a close-up of Gao Yuanyuan's face.

Her puzzled expression turned into joy, and she jumped up and said, "Yeah, I'm finally back, I'm finally back."

As she spoke, her smile froze, replaced by a look of worry, and she murmured, "Where's Yunwen? Yunwen, where are you?"

As Gao Yuanyuan walked through the crowd, someone in the extras asked, "What's wrong with this person?"

The tour guide actor explained: "This lady is a staff member who takes photos with tourists. It's 5 yuan per photo."

The camera followed Gao Yuanyuan all the way out the gate.

"Ka! Very good! Thank you for your hard work. I declare that the filming of "Love Across Time and Space" has been completed!"

As soon as director Li Xiuming finished speaking, applause and cheers broke out on the set.

As the last actor to finish filming the entire drama, the crew also presented him with a bouquet of flowers.

Shen Lang clapped his hands and walked over to Gao Yuanyuan. Looking at everyone busy packing up, he said with emotion, "It's all over without me noticing. To be honest, I'm really sad to leave."

Nearly three months, which is relatively fast.

Mainly because they are two groups shooting at the same time, the progress will be much faster.

Plus, the drama only has 28 episodes, and the scenes don’t change very often, so the efficiency is high.

Gao Yuanyuan has filmed many plays and has experienced this kind of separation. She has gradually gotten used to it and said, "Yes, for an actor, it is quite sad to say goodbye to a role, a crew, or a relationship."

Shen Lang put on a faint smile and said, "It's quite interesting."

Gao Yuanyuan looked at him and asked, "So, you want to focus on your acting career?"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Can't I have them all?"

Gao Yuanyuan nodded slightly and said, "That's right. If you don't write songs or sing, your musical talent will be wasted. If you don't act, your acting talent will be wasted. So both are the best options."

In the short term, within one to two years, Shen Lang's focus will still be on his music career.

This is easier to do, and I have more songs in my memory.

As for my acting career, I will just let nature take its course. If an offer for a role comes my way, I will take it.

At the wrap-up party in the evening, producers Zhou Yi and his wife, investors Qian Guosheng and his wife, and all the main actors were present.

"Mr. Zhou, it's a pleasure to work with you. If you have any good dramas in the future, please remember to look for us at Shenghua Films."

"Mr. Qian, you are too polite. Sure, sure."

Fang Wanhua exchanged a few polite words with Zhou Yi. Regardless of whether they could cooperate again or not, they had to be well-mannered in dealing with the worldly affairs.

Zhou Yi looked at Shen Lang with a look of regret in his eyes. If he had not signed with Xinsuo Records, he would definitely be recruited under his command. He was a good actor and met the needs of Zhou Yi Film and Television.

As for Shen Lang, he was blocking the drinking for Gao Yuanyuan. As the first female lead of the show and also the most beautiful actress in the whole group, many people came to toast her. After drinking a few glasses, her face turned red, so he had to help.

After the meal, many people were drunk.

Shen Lang has an average alcohol tolerance and is about 70% drunk.

I returned to the apartment and slept until I woke up naturally.

"Drink less alcohol in the future." Shen Lang patted his dizzy head.

It's better to drink wine in small amounts.

Excessive drinking is harmful to your health and also causes delays in work.

After a quick wash and change of clothes, I went downstairs to eat three fried dough sticks and drink a bowl of soy milk.

There are still four days until the Olympic bid concert, so I can have a good rest these days.

However, Chen Yaochuan did not give him this opportunity. He called him at 10 o'clock and said that he had arrived in Yanjing and was waiting for him at the company.

Shen Lang drove there.

"Do you really have to fight this hard, Alang?" This was the first sentence Chen Yaochuan said when he saw him.

"Does releasing two albums in the second half of the year count as an effort?" Shen Lang asked back.

李汶去年，从年初的《CoCo精选全记录》到8月份的《真情人You＆Me》之间，共计推出8张专辑，包含2张国语精选、2张英文合集、1张英文专辑、1张英文单曲、1张中文专辑以及1张《卧虎藏龙》电影原声带。

He has just arrived.

If his energy was not limited, he would have filled the second half of the year.

"You are different from other singers. You have to take care of the lyrics, music, arrangement and MV. The difficulty is exponentially greater." Chen Yaochuan didn't want to see such a great musical talent collapse from exhaustion just trying to make money.

"Well... In fact, these are not difficult for me at all. This... I am not saying this to show off." Shen Lang's calm tone was filled with confidence and Versailles.

"..."Chen Yaochuan.

I can't even get a call.

This is certainly not a show-off.

It's attacking people!

"Mr. Chen, you came all the way from Formosa Province, didn't you just want to talk to me about this?"

"I have two good news for you. First, the instrumental tapes for the 15 songs have been recorded. Second, your request for an advance of 1000 million has been approved."

"Mr. Chen, I don't know how to thank you enough. You really helped me a lot."

The reason why Shen Lang released two albums in the second half of the year was to ask for money from Xinsuo Records.

Chen Yaochuan smiled slightly and said, "You got this money based on your own strength. I am just a messenger at best."

Shen Lang would remember this favor and said, "I drank too much at the wrap-up party last night, so I can't accompany you today. Let's do it another day until I recover."

I just had a meal at noon.

In the afternoon, Shen Lang did not rest. Since he had brought the accompaniment of the song, he started recording the song.

There should be 20 songs on the two albums, why are there only 15?
It's not a reduction in the amount of songs, but the previous five songs "Hidden Fragrance", "Dragon Fist", "Sweet", "Steady Happiness" and the recent advertising song for ZTE Xiaolingtong "I Caught a Cold in That Corner" will be put into one album.

These two albums, one focuses on "Cantonese" and the other focuses on "Thousand Faces".

"Cantonese", literally means Cantonese songs, this album is mainly aimed at the Hong Kong market.

"Thousand Faces" refers to the diverse musical styles. The five songs on Side B include "Anxiang" which is the theme song of a TV series, "Dragon Fist" in Hip-Hop style, "Sweet" which is a sweet pop love song, "Steady Happiness" which is a warm pop love song, and "I Caught a Cold in That Corner" which is a vocal hum; the five new songs on Side A are in five different styles: rock "Black Tangerine", folk song "Blue Lotus", traditional Chinese style "Dongfeng Po", ancient style "Qingming Rain", and pop song "Just Met You".

He wants to continue to make a splash in the Chinese music scene.
