I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 158 Public Figures (13)

It's nothing more than a conflict between a newcomer and a popular person in the company...

This thing is a trivial matter to Shen Liang.

The main reason was that his manager wanted Shen Liang's "Mercury Notes". Not only did he want it, he also forced Shen Liang to add his name to the lyrics, composition and arrangement...

Because I want to create the image of a talented person!

Shen Liang couldn't accept this...

Then it was suppressed and even shelved for a time.

Later, Shen's mother stepped in and the matter was resolved.

However, the first EP still did not receive the necessary publicity resources...

It's an old grudge...

Plus the "Tomorrow's Son" thing...

At that time, Shen Liang sang "Last Summer", Xue Zhiqian and Yang Mi both liked it very much. When it came to Hua Chenyu, he commented that Shen Liang didn't know how to arrange music and his works were simple...

A lot of long speeches, like "In fact, our current music scene is just a routine that keeps repeating. Changing a few melodies of a song seems to turn it into another song. This will make musicians lazy."

Then Shen Liang directly said, "I don't think your arrangement is that good... Who doesn't use chords when writing songs? Why don't you use chords yourself? How about we copy the music on the spot? You can't do it yourself and yet you ask others to do it. You are so funny!"

A complete grudge was formed between them.

I just didn’t expect Shen Liang to become popular so quickly. In just half a year, several of his songs became hits.

Moreover, Shen Liang also has a background, a platform, and capital support... It is unlikely to snipe him!

Back to "Mars", Shen Mengchen prepared a proposal "Straight Men's Mentality"...

Shen Liang was very interested in this topic: "This is great. I have a lot of stories to tell."

Yang Di chuckled: "Xue Zhiqian must like it too, after all, he is a straight man like steel!"

"Has Shen Liang prepared a proposal?"

"No... This is the last period, I mainly play cooperation!"

Having said that, he packed up his lunch box and stood up to leave...

"Where are you going?"

"...Ming Ge (director of "Mars") arranged for me and Ruth to sing, so I have to go rehearse..."

"then you go!"

……

"Mars Intelligence Agency" really has nothing to say about Shen Liang. In every episode, he was given a solo performance. Originally, this song "Mercury" was sung by him alone, but Shen Liang changed it and asked Zhao Lusi to join in. The two sang together...

It's a good thing to return a favor!
Shen Liang's character is to repay kindness with kindness and repay evil with justice.

Mars gave him a stage, so he gave back by doing something on the stage...

Zhao Lusi is a contracted artist of Galaxy Cool Entertainment. Singing with him will definitely help increase her popularity!
Ruth’s singing level is pretty good. Although she can’t reach the high notes and the low notes, at least her pitch is pretty good…

"Mercury" is quite difficult to sing... So, I basically just sang the chorus, and Shen Liang was in C throughout the whole process...

"~How far do I have to go to get into your heart? How long do I have to go to get close to you? The person who is so close yet so far away is also waiting to meet you~"

After the performance, Shen Liang explained: "This song is the first song I composed as a debut singer... Why is it called "Mercury"? Because Mercury is the planet closest to the sun, but Mercury cannot escape its orbit or get closer to the sun. From the initial desire to get closer to the sun, to the final movement along the original orbit, I use the concept of astronomy to refer to the emotional relationship between people that is both close and far."

"In addition, the arrangement of "Mercury" uses the augmented triad, which is a very rare chord arrangement... The chord is equivalent to the skeleton of the song. Adding chord tones to this skeleton makes it flesh and blood, so that the song is complete. What is the augmented triad? Well, it is probably the one with the worst sound effect among all chords... But "Mercury" sounds very good!"

"So, some people say that I copied chords, which makes me angry, especially because the song "Mercury" was almost not mine..."

Xue Zhiqian immediately asked, "It's not yours?"

Shen Liang shrugged, "The first company I signed with had an agent of a popular musician who thought this song was good and wanted to take it... Just take it, I'm easy to talk to, but the premise is that you have to pay... But their approach is to write the lyrics and compose the music and add his name to it, to add a musical genius to someone, without paying... They said they would release the song to me... I didn't agree, and then I put it on ice for a while!"

"Have you also been hidden in the snow?"

"I'm different from you. I have a background..." Shen Liang chuckled, "...So, I was put on ice for a day, and my mom solved it with just one phone call... Later, Boss Long arranged for Sister Ma Hao to be my agent, and I successfully released my own EP... But at that time, Boss Long's say was not much, and later, I followed them to the new company!"

"Who is this person?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "...No one..."

Hua Chenyu's face flushed with embarrassment - he remembered that he knew about this matter afterwards...

Hua Chenyu is a very proud person.

He couldn't do such a thing as actively usurping other people's achievements, and he had a quarrel with his agent afterwards...

Later, at the company's regular meeting, his agent apologized to Shen Liang in public, but he himself did not make any statement...

In his opinion, it wasn't his fault!
And they also gave compensation... Otherwise, how could the EP be released smoothly?
Are you really that stingy?
Shen Liang did not continue to talk... Instead, he said: "I later found out that the musician was not aware of this matter. It was his agent who made the decision... So, I won't say who it was..."

……

"I found that many men in life have straight male thinking..."

Shen Mengchen talked about his own topic and gave an example, "They like to reason, but I'm not in a relationship with you to listen to your reasoning. They also like to complain, and they often say: You see, he can get along well because of his father. If I had such a father, I could do it too... I don't understand, what are these people thinking?"

"Typical straight male thinking!"

Liu Wei stood up and gave an example, saying that he had a friend who was very ordinary but liked to comment on women's clothing and appearance: "I often see him giving a woman a score, such as 85 points for someone, 75 points for someone else..."

Yang Di interrupted: "This is what dating apps do, they use big data to rate people... Your friend should be studying big data!"

"No, he did that when I was in junior high school!"

"That should be something you learn from watching those beauty pageants..."

Shen Liang also joined the discussion: "Many forums and portals have beauty ratings and rankings, and Hupu also has a goddess competition... This shows that beauty is something that has a high and low level. The moment you see a person, you will definitely make some judgments about their beauty and ugliness. There is nothing wrong with this!"

"So what do you think of this behavior?"

"It's legal but sick. After all, it's a bit disrespectful. But fortunately, the people reviewed by Hupu are all public figures... Public figures are the topic of conversation for ordinary people after dinner... So, I support Hupu reviews!"

“I feel it’s not appropriate to be criticized…”

Shen Liang sneered: "You can quit the circle... You want to gain public discussion but don't want to be criticized? Why?"
