I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 668 I Don’t Stay Up Late (13)

"Domestic Entertainment 208? Why are you searching for these?"

"The theme of my new work is to satirize 208..." Shen Liang shrugged: "I will definitely do some research!"

"Aren't you 208 yourself?"

Oh, it turns out that 208 means traffic star, and now it has been extended to the entire domestic entertainment industry.

All celebrities with high incomes are collectively referred to as 208.

Therefore, saying that Shen Liang is 208 is not wrong!
Shen Liang smiled and said, "It's a satirical comedy... There are three core topics in satirical comedy: religion, government, and sex. If we can't touch on these three, then we'll just satirize celebrities. And the audience loves it!"

Yu Shuxin looked at him with admiration: "...You know so much!"

How come you know so much?

Liang Ge didn't understand: "What the hell?"

Zhao Xiaotang: "You just mentioned the three major topics of satirical comedy..."

"You can understand this by reading some books..."

Teacher He interrupted: "What are you talking about?"

"Just chatting, Mr. He, please order a song called "The Distance of Missing You". I really like this song!"

He Jiong smiled and said, "Okay!"

"The Distance of Missing You", a song written by Xu Fei and sung by He Jiong, is included in the first album of Happy Family "You Know Happiness"...

Shen Liang is not flattering, the lyrics of this song are really good'~ There are thousands of ways to respond to me, but your heart is like a gust of wind; my thoughts are disobedient and run out by themselves, willfully chasing after your shadow~'

After they finished singing, Wang Sulong suddenly asked, "Brother Liang, did you think about the market when you were making music?"

"At first, I thought that 'Seaweed Dance' was... I created a divine song to cater to short video sharing: strong rhythm, simple and easy-to-understand lyrics, diverse styles, consistent with the video content, easy to share... After a hit song went viral, I no longer considered uploading these..."

Yu Shuxin: "'Seaweed Dance' is a must-order song for me in KTV!"

Shen Liang explained: "We were short of money at the time... I was working on the set of The Wandering Earth at the time, and the crew was broke at one point, so I invested 4000 million..."

“Making 4000 million from one song?”

“I haven’t counted it…it should be more than that…4000 million is the money I signed with the Douyin live broadcast platform, and the platform gave me…”

Wang Sulong: "But your music is very popular!"

"It's OK. In recent years, I have paid more attention to the arrangement and lyrics..."

He Jiong: "But every song of yours is very popular..."

Shen Liang explained: "The songs I write are still pop music. There are only so many chords in pop music, so they are definitely within the range that everyone can accept..."

"Nowadays, many singers' songs are not popular..."

"It doesn't matter. They have loyal fans. I think the most important thing about art is to express yourself first and be yourself. The rest is up to fate."

"Many fans advocate avant-garde music and leading the trend..."

Shen Liang shook his head: "Maybe their goal is not pop music... The prefix of pop music is popular, and this popularity is a meteor at the mass level, not the recognition of fans... In fact, if I want to make it complicated, I will add classical chords, which will definitely confuse the fans..."

"But advanced music..."

"If we are discussing advanced music, then forget it. In front of Bach, Schubert, and Chopin, pop music is all about color... Many so-called singers don't even understand the twelve-tone equal temperament. What art can we talk to them about?"

He Jiong suddenly realized: "I said you went to "Longing", why didn't you talk about music with Zhang Yixing!"

"The habit of music creation is a very scary thing. In the field of music, geniuses are all geniuses from the beginning, and those who are not are really not. Not everyone can invent a television. If you are not creative, you really have no creativity!"

After a pause, Shen Liang added: "Moreover, the smaller the circle, the more arrogant and twisted the mentality of the people inside it is. You have to maintain the so-called status..."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's sing...Shen Liang, sing an English song!"

"Okay, let's play "Rollercoaster"..."

"How to fight?"

"'Rollercoaster' by Bleachers, the theme song of 'Love, Simon'... The lead singer is Jack Antonoff, who used to be the guitarist of Fun.... The style is more pop folk... Forget it, I'll find it myself!"

Shen Liang was a little surprised that Wang Sulong didn't know about Bleachers...

"Don't you listen to European and American pop music?"

“I rarely listen to it…but I know the band FUN.!”

“…It’s amazing…” Fun., Grammy Award for Best New Artist, single, “We Are Young” won the sixth consecutive championship on the Billboard Hot 100…

In 2012, the strongest new band in the European and American music scene once overtook One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful"... But they had the Olympic Games promotion - they sang their masterpiece "What Makes You Beautiful" at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics...

Anyone who listens to music knows the band FUN.!

Then Yu Shuxin said: "I haven't heard of it..."

“…You’re not a singer~ It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard it!”

"Our baby is a fan of Korean entertainment!"

"...Korean entertainment fans?" Shen Liang was surprised: "This is really rare. You are the first Korean entertainment fan I have ever seen... I really want to ask: what are you a fan of?"

"They...are very powerful..."

"What kind of strength is that? He's not even as good as Cai Xukun! Idols have only two strengths: the ability to attract fans and the ability to create value through attracting fans. To be honest, all the Korean idols combined can't catch up with Kun Kun in this regard. How many UP hosts who have smeared him have been supported by Cai Xukun? There are also related catering, cultural and creative industries, etc. It can be said that he has contributed an entire industry chain. In comparison, Korean idols are nothing!"

"FOOD?"

"Brother Chicken Fried Chicken Steak, Chicken You Are So Beautiful Fried Chicken Burger... These are all the values ​​created by Cai Xukun!"

“But the KPop world has a huge influence!”

"What kind of influence is that? Do you know Genshin Impact?"

“Yes, a game…”

Shen Liang: "According to Sensor Tower data, the so-called export of Korean Wave last year was less than a fraction of Genshin Impact! The revenue of Genshin Impact in South Korea alone exceeded the export of K-POP records in the world. You can check the data!"

K-pop won’t work, unless they do Kporn, then maybe there’s hope.

……

At 3:30 in the morning, Mr. He felt that it was almost time, so he settled the bill and asked everyone to go back and rest...

Shen Liang followed a group of people to the door...

Zhao Xiaotang came over: "I feel like you respect Teacher He very much?"

"If the entertainment industry is a martial arts world, full of good and bad people, and it's hard to tell good from evil, then He Jiong is probably a gentleman in this martial arts world. Fish respect him, dragons honor him. Even if his martial arts skills are not the strongest, and his seniority is not the longest, he can be a gentleman who judges right from wrong in this martial arts world, and both good and evil people listen to him!"

"…What's the meaning?"

"It's because he has a high status!"

Yu Shuxin came over: "...Shall we go to the bar together?"

Shen Liang waved his hand: "No, I have to meet Brother Han tomorrow at noon..."

"Then you'll go back directly?"

Shen Liang yawned: "It's almost four o'clock, go back and sleep for a while..."

"You know it's almost four in the morning, why don't you stay up all night?"

“I can’t bear it…”

Zhao Xiaotang curled her lips: "They all said that you are full of energy and can work non-stop... What's wrong with staying up all night?"

"Energy and staying up late..." Shen Liang was about to explain, but suddenly felt something was wrong and turned his head to stare at her: "No, what did you say?"

Zhao Xiaotang also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hesitantly said: "... energetic..."

"The last sentence!"

“We’re praising you!”

"Who said that?"

Yu Shuxin interrupted the interrogation: "...Keep doing it! It came from Liu Xining...She said you are amazing!"

Shen Liang was speechless: "What is this all about..."

"I praise you, but you are still not satisfied?"

“Is this a compliment?”

"It's better than saying you're weak, right?"
