I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 138 Where is the vacation? (34)

Birds and Cicadas…

"The overall key of this song is B flat major, and the chorus is 1563251. Songs with this style are usually more emotional, and the melody sounds like waves rising and falling, making it suitable for love songs.

Secondly, this song uses some suspended chords and add9 chords in its arrangement. This will give the song a melancholy tone…”

While Shen Liang was explaining, he played "Birds and Cicadas"...

Su Lun replied: "1563251, Canon tune?"

"Yes... Canon Tune..." Shen Liang was surprised: "The director has played music before?"

Su Lun nodded: "I used to be in a band!"

Shen Liang was curious: "Aren't you studying electrical engineering?"

"The school is in BJ, it doesn't matter what you study!" Su Lun waved his hand: "I started to form a band when I was a freshman, and it just so happened that the music teacher of the band's lead singer knew the assistant director of Feng Xiaogang's crew, and the assistant director was looking for an assistant..."

"And you went?"

"Well, I followed the two dramas, Big Shot and Cell Phone... I dropped out of school just to follow the crew, but once the crew disbanded, I had no work to do."

"How do you support yourself then?"

"The band didn't disband. I played bass and performed in various colleges while continuing to work on film crews... Then I was admitted to the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama. I worked like crazy on scripts every day. After graduation, I started shooting commercials and worked as an advertising director for four or five years..."

"Then how did you get to know Director Xu?"

"Liu Ruifang and I were roommates in college... She is Director Xu's agent... She introduced me to Lost in Thailand..."

"Stop chatting and listen to music!"

Birds and Cicadas:
You are like a flying bird, free and light; and I am like a cicada, patient and quiet.

I try hard to break out of the cocoon and be reborn just to see you.

I know that you will not be content to stay on the branch where I live. What belongs to you in the end is the blue sea and blue sky.

Every time you flew by, I tried to make a sound, but you never looked at me.

I finally understand what is the furthest distance in the world.

We are not in the same world.

This song has a touch of sadness...

Just like Lu Ming and Gu Xiaojiao, the encounter between two people from different worlds is destined to be short-lived!

The gap is too big, so we are destined to be just passers-by to each other, and in the end we are just acquaintances.

Birds and cicadas are destined to be in two different worlds - you fly away proudly, and I live on leaves. We go to different worlds, but we never say goodbye. The longing of the sea moon has transformed me into yesterday. You never even glanced at my mature smiling face...

After listening to it, Xu Zheng hesitated a little: "This song is good... but is it too sad? This is a comedy!"

Su Lun liked it very much: "It's very suitable to be placed at the end of the film!"

Xu Zheng didn't know what to say, so he nodded: "...Okay, it's your movie anyway... Let's go and eat!"

Su Lun glanced at Shen Liang and said, "Can you write another promotional song? One with some humor!"

Shen Liang scratched his head: "...Actually there is a song that is quite suitable..."

"What song is it?"

"Wang Lihong and Zhang Ziyi's "Love a Little More"... But the tempo of that song is too slow. If you can get the copyright, I'll rearrange it and I'll sing it with Tiantian..."

Su Lun shook his head: "'Love a Little' was sung by Mo Yanling!"

"That's better...and cheaper."

……

Wrap-up party...

Everyone relaxed, including Shen Liang, who got several assistant directors drunk... Plas, who felt he was awesome, shook his head and said, "Drinking again and again means a bright future, getting drunk again and again means wealth and glory! Come on, drink!"

Xu Zheng was surprised: "How much can you drink?"

Shen Liang gestured with a 1 and said arrogantly: "I can drink forever! If you say anything else, I will definitely give in. When it comes to drinking, I have never been afraid!"

Su Lun immediately stood up, picked up the 100ml wine dispenser on the table, filled the pot, raised his head and drank it all. After finishing it, he said: "Come on, let's have three drinks..."

Shen Liang was stunned for a moment, then carefully picked up the wine dispenser and asked tentatively, "Are you?" "Yes, I'm from Inner Mongolia, an eagle on the grassland spreads its wings and flies, with three cups on one wing..."

You can't be timid!
Shen Liang followed Su Lun's example and directly picked up the wine dispenser and drank it all in one gulp...

After drinking, he sat directly on the chair and kept coughing - he drank too quickly and choked. Now his stomach felt like it was on fire and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"…No, I can't drink too fast…"

"Didn't you just say that drinking day and night will lead to a bright future, and being drunk day and night will lead to a long life?"

"Sister, I was just bragging..." Shen Liang quickly changed his expression: "I will never pretend in front of you again."

"Can't drink anymore?"

"Hmm..." Shen Liang tried to hold back the churning feeling in his stomach and waved his hands: "No... I can't drink any more."

Jing Tian said with a bit of heartache: "If you can't drink it, don't drink it..."

"Well, let's chat for a while!"

Xu Zheng tried to smooth things over: "By the way, after you finish filming, what are your plans?"

Jing Tian spoke first: "I'm going to join the crew of a TV series right away..."

"how about you?"

"I just received the news that I have to rehearse for the third Spring Festival Gala, and then I have to record songs... I will go to record "Mars" the day after tomorrow, and Ma Hao has arranged a variety show for me called "Go Fighting"... I also have to go to Mango TV to participate in the New Year's Eve party on December 12st..."

"Go Fighting? Are you a regular or just for one episode?"

"I'm sure I'll only be there for one episode... as a guest!"

Jing Tian was surprised: "Didn't you tell me you wanted to rest?"

"Plans can't keep up with changes... I have to participate in four shows a week, and I also have to go to commercial performances... It's the end of the year, and the demand for commercial performances is huge!"

This is true...

And because Shen Liang seldom performs commercially, the current offer is close to that of first-tier singers - three songs, 200 million, plus round-trip accommodation and travel expenses!

Damn, three songs and two million...

The money comes so fast!

There are also those who have one song, which are basically "Seaweed Dance"...

Many large companies have invited Shen Liang to their annual meetings...

Xu Zheng said: "When you are young, you should make more money!"

"right…"

"Remember to promote our movie during the live broadcast!"

"Definitely..."

Xu Zheng continued: "It would be even better if it could be cut like Yu and Wei's!"

Shen Liang was surprised: "You have seen it too?"

"I heard that nearly 800 million people gave the same love gesture during that video?"

Shen Liang was speechless: "That's a like... not a heart..."

"…similar to what I heard. Yu and Wei became famous because of your video!"

"Teacher Yu is very popular..."

"He hasn't gone viral yet. Many young people don't know him. Your video has at least made tens of millions of young people aware of him!"

Shen Liang chuckled: "Not really, the main thing is that Teacher Yu has the original material, then the music, then the dance, and then the transition is that he dances by himself, which is very interesting in itself!"

Yu and Wei did become popular because of Shen Liang’s short video…

By the way, someone actually asked him to help edit things for promotion?
Promoting Der...

This thing must be something he has. If you don’t have anything, what can you cut?
By the way, Shen Liang also edited a clip from his favorite TV series, "Years", which was also starred by Yu Hewei. He played the second male lead, and the first male lead was Hu Jun...
