Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 192, the best girl group in history [asking for monthly tickets, asking for subscription]

"I miss you not because I'm lonely, but because I miss you I'm lonely. When tears fall, all the scenery becomes silent..."

"Pull your ears up and be alert, nerve cells are fully alert, your call will never be missed, Ring a ring a ring, the chord bell of love ye..."

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang did exaggerate, but it is undeniable that their singing skills have improved significantly.

On the road of music, their growth trajectory is clearly visible, from their initial immaturity to their current maturity and confidence. Whether it is the grasp of pitch, breath control, or emotional expression, there has been a significant improvement.

Shen Lang not only pays attention to the results, but also pays attention to the growth in the process.

Therefore, when it is time to praise, he will not be stingy and will give affirmation to others at the appropriate time, which can inspire people's potential and motivation.

“Your practice results are quite impressive, but you must remember not to become complacent. Keep working hard and constantly improve yourself.”

"Don't worry, Brother Lang, we will definitely go all out and continue to make progress!"

"Follow Brother Lang's teachings, hehe~"

Chen Yaochuan listened to their conversation and said with a smile: "With your strict requirements and careful guidance, as well as their own efforts and potential, it is not long before they become the best girl group in the history of Chinese music."

When Liu Yifei heard this, a bright light instantly flashed in her eyes.

After hearing what Chen Yaochuan said, Shu Chang couldn't help swallowing.

The two were obviously touched by these words, feeling excited but also a little nervous.

The best girl group in the history of Chinese music, this goal, this title, is both desirable and challenging.

Shen Lang said confidently: "I can only say that the chances are great."

There are few girl groups in the past and few successors. There are only two current competitors, SHE and Twins.

The Twins are not a big threat, SHE is a little stronger.

However, these are not problems. Shen Lang already has a plan in mind. By then, he will create a few classic English songs for them and win a few international awards. Who can be their rival by then?

After returning from lunch, everyone rested for an hour to recharge their batteries, and then had a meeting in the afternoon until four o'clock. Since there was still early time, they continued with the recording work.

There are three songs: "I Miss You Not Because I'm Lonely", "Ring Ring Ring", and "A Little Sweet", and only one song is left.

This time, Shen Lang also entered the recording studio.

"A Little Sweet" is the first collaboration between Wang Sulong and Singapore's twin group BY2. It continues the sweetness and ambiguous feelings of the duet love song and shows more levels of vocal changes.

Liu Yifei's voice is soft and delicate, like a spring breeze; Shu Chang's voice is bright and crisp, like the sound of a spring. Coupled with Shen Lang's magnetic voice, it can be said that it fits the song perfectly.

After adjusting the state, the recording engineer plays the accompaniment.

Shen Lang: "I'll pick an apple and wait for you to pass by the door. I'll give it to you to quench your thirst."

Liu Yifei: "Like Coke in summer and cocoa in winter, you are the right role at the right time."

Shu sings: "I don't know why. My wounds haven't healed yet, but you broke into my heart. It's you who let me see a flower blooming in the dry desert."

In the bright and lively rhythm, their three distinctive voices blend together, creating a sweet and warm atmosphere, making people feel as if they are in a beautiful world of love, feeling the innocence and romance.

Chen Yaochuan sighed repeatedly after listening to it, saying that Shen Lang's voice was so rare, as if it was a universal puzzle piece that could be perfectly integrated with singers of various different styles.

When he is in a dominant position in the collaboration, he fully displays his charm, his voice is like a bright star, with powerful expressiveness and appeal, he interprets the emotions in the song vividly, making people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

And when he plays a secondary role, he will not overshadow the main singer. His voice is like delicate silk thread, skillfully woven into the texture of the music, echoing with the voice of the main singer, and together they sing a harmonious and beautiful song.

"How can there be such a perfect musician? He can write, sing, and has vision and foresight. He is truly rare to come across in a century."

Chen Yaochuan couldn't help but sigh. The longer he worked with Shen Lang, the more he felt Shen Lang's strength.

Since the concept of pop singers emerged, many superstars have emerged, such as Elvis Presley, Teresa Teng, Michael Jackson, etc. However, most of them are only proficient in "singing", and very few are proficient in both "singing" and "creation". There is only one singer like Shen Lang who is so versatile and proficient.

Before, Chen Yaochuan thought that it would be difficult for Shen Lang to open up overseas markets. Now, thinking back, that idea was simply ridiculous. The overseas market was nothing. It was clear that Shen Lang was aiming to become the world's number one singer.

At this moment, the singing ended. Shen Lang shook his head at Liu Yifei and Shu Chang and said, "This performance was not good enough. The interaction between you and me was not enough. It sounded dry. Let's do it again."

Liu Yifei frowned slightly and asked, "Brother Lang, when it was just me and Xiaochang, we would interact. Now that you're here, how are we going to interact?"

Shu Chang also looked at him, his face full of questions.

Shen Lang smiled slightly and explained calmly: "The methods are essentially the same. We can use eye contact to convey emotions delicately, thereby increasing the interactivity of the song in terms of emotional expression. Don't panic because of my joining. Relax your mind, regard me as a part of your group, and perform this song together."

His words not only dispelled the doubts in Liu Yifei and Shu Chang's hearts, but also made them understand that eye contact has a power that cannot be ignored. During singing, a gentle look or an affectionate gaze can express the emotions in the song more deeply.

It was the first time for the two to sing a duet with Shen Lang. While they were excited and happy, they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After adjusting his state, he sang it again.

The performance this time was obviously much better. The nervousness gradually dissipated, replaced by focus and devotion. Their voices were steadier and their emotional expression was more delicate.

Moreover, they also found the rhythm and feeling of singing duet with Shen Lang.

By the third time, their performance reached the requirement of 85 points and they were done.

When coming out of the recording studio, Chen Yaochuan had already left early due to work.

"What do you two want to eat? I'll treat you." Shen Lang looked at the time and it was almost time for dinner.

"Xixi, what do you think?" Shu Chang turned his gaze to Liu Yifei.

"How about, come to my house for dinner. My mother has made soup tonight." Liu Yifei invited the two of them.

"Godmother cooks big meals for you every day, aren't you afraid of making you fat?" Hearing this, Shu Chang said with a smile.

"No way, the dishes my mother cooks are a combination of meat and vegetables, and are nutritionally balanced, and I exercise." Liu Yifei is about to play the role of Little Dragon Girl, and has been trying to control her weight. She doesn't want to look like a "xiaolongbao."

"I haven't tasted Auntie's cooking for a long time. I really miss it." Shen Lang had already eaten the New Year's Eve dinner, so he wouldn't be overly polite at this time.

"Then let's go." Liu Yifei said happily.

Just like that, Shen Lang and Shu Chang went to her house together.

"Hello, Auntie!" Shen Lang greeted politely.

"Godmother~" Shu Chang's voice was full of intimacy.

When Liu Xiaoli saw that it was not only her daughter but also them who opened the door, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face, and she said enthusiastically, "Please come in, please come in!" She also saw that the two of them were holding a lot of gifts in their hands, and continued, "Oh, next time you can just come directly, you don't need to buy these things."

In career and life, with Shen Lang and Shu Chang taking care of Liu Yifei, her mother feels much more relieved.

Shen Lang is like a big tree, protecting Liu Yifei from wind and rain. No matter it is a problem at work or trouble in life, he can always give Liu Yifei appropriate advice and help with his experience and wisdom. Shu Chang is lively and cheerful. He laughs, cries and pursues dreams with Liu Yifei. With Shu Chang by her side, Liu Yifei will not feel lonely.

Liu Xiaoli is very glad that she let her daughter audition for "The Story of a Noble Family". That decision was indeed like a hint of destiny in their lives. Since then, a series of wonderful things have followed. First, she met Shen Lang, and then signed a contract with Julang Film and Television. Now her daughter is both an actress and a singer, and her career is getting better and better.

She was so happy that she cooked two more dishes and opened a bottle of red wine.

However, the two minors were not allowed to drink, so only she and Shen Lang drank.

"Xiao Shen, I'll toast you a glass. Thank you for taking care of Xixi and Xiaochang." Liu Xiaoli's words were full of sincerity and gratitude. "You're welcome, Auntie." Shen Lang responded modestly.

After they both drank one, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang poured drinks and toasted Shen Lang respectively.

Everyone was eating, drinking and chatting in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Gradually, the topic turned to work.

Shen Lang said to Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, "You two, finish filming The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Lotus Lantern 2 in the first half of next year, and stop filming in the second half. Release two EPs to consolidate your popularity in the music industry, and then go to school properly."

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang nodded obediently.

It’s not that the company doesn’t have the resources, but at their age, they are at a critical stage in their lives and their work cannot be scheduled too full. After all, study is the top priority. Even if they are not studying for a diploma, they still have to learn more.

Liu Xiaoli fully agreed with his decision.

After dinner, they chatted for a while and then Shen Lang went home.

The next day, he went to the huge waves.

At the beginning of this year, Softstar launched "Chinese Paladin 2". Before its release, it attracted much attention. However, after its release, the reviews were mixed. It did not continue the huge success of "Chinese Paladin 1". However, players were not disappointed for too long. In July of this year, after a lapse of half a year, "Chinese Paladin 3" was released, and they also successfully obtained the rights for film and television adaptation.

His choice was the same as in the original time and space, skipping 2 and going to 3.

There are three reasons:

First, the plot of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2 does not have much to do with the plot of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1. It just borrows the shell of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 to tell a brand new story of love and hatred in the martial arts world. The whole game is just selling the feelings of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1.

Second, in order to take advantage of the popularity of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, Wang Xiaohu, a neighbor of Li Xiaoyao, was made the protagonist of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2. Li Xiaoyao only appeared as a cameo, while Wang Xiaohu had a low presence and his personality was not much different from that of Li Xiaoyao.

Third, the reputation of the game "Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" was a failure, and the risk of adapting it into a film or TV series was too great.

Shen Lang is going to ask the screenwriter to start adapting the script of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, and the plan is to start filming in the second half of next year or the first half of the year after.

"Editor-in-Chief Liu, please arrange this matter."

"Okay, I will call a meeting of relevant personnel later to determine who is most suitable to undertake this task."

At present, all departments of Julang have been perfected, and they have complete capabilities from scratch to production.

At present, the editor-in-chief of the screenwriting department is Liu Heping.

A veritable industry leader, he was named a "national first-class screenwriter" in 1994. In 1999, his first film and television screenwriter, the long historical drama "The Yongzheng Dynasty", was broadcast on CCTV and won the 19th China TV Drama Feitian Award for Outstanding Screenwriter. In 2001, he served as the screenwriter of the costume comedy "Li Wei as an Official".

在原时空，2007年出任历史剧《大明王朝1566嘉靖与海瑞》的编剧及制片人，打造出一部9.7分历史神剧；2014年编剧的的近代年代剧《北平无战事》播出，拿到了第30届华夏电视剧飞天奖优秀编剧奖、第21届魔都电视节白玉兰奖最佳编剧奖等多个奖项。

The person who was invited back at great expense to take charge of the screenwriting department has indeed relieved Shen Lang of a lot of burden. He no longer needs to worry too much about screenwriting issues and can devote more energy to the company's overall operations and development strategy.

Liu Heping took this opportunity to report: "The scripts for Kung Fu Panda and Lost on Journey have been completed. I will send them to you later."

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The three scripts arranged at that time were "Painted Skin", "Kung Fu Panda" and "Lost on Journey". Among them, "Painted Skin" was completed first and has now entered the casting stage.

The reason for the slow progress is that the film encountered challenges in the form of the script. Since the relevant departments are more sensitive to themes such as horror and ghost films, it failed the first and second trials.

In the end, they had to abandon the original positioning of a ghost film, and Shen Lang could only ask them to change it to the "New Oriental Fantasy" story with "martial arts, magic, and romance" as the main line of the original time and space, and then it passed the review in one go.

When it comes to casting, the main focus is on the role of Zhao Wei.

Shen Lang definitely won’t use her.

The first female lead Zhou Xun, the first male lead Chen Kun, the supporting female role Sun Li, and the supporting male role Zhen Zidan, this part remains unchanged.

There will be no problem starting it up early next year.

Now that the scripts for Kung Fu Panda and Lost on Journey are complete, we can start the early stages of preparation.

"Kung Fu Panda" plans to be distributed globally, so its quality must be improved, especially in the production of special effects. Only by hiring a professional team from abroad can the ideal effect be achieved.

However, "Lost on Journey" had to be put on hold and could only start filming after Wang Baoqiang finished filming "A World Without Thieves".

In addition to adapting the script of "Chinese Paladin 3", there are three more scripts to be prepared: "True Manliness", "Secret" and "If You Are the One". In addition, three Hollywood scripts: "Get Out", "Inception" and "The Hunger Games" are also in the plan.

In terms of film and television creation, the main focus will be on film creation. As for TV series, it will depend on the investment situation, or we may consider purchasing them directly.

Unfortunately, the enhancement brought by time travel is only reflected in the memory of music. Every song appears clearly in his mind, even a punctuation mark is exactly the same. However, there is no enhancement effect in film and television dramas. All the content of film and television dramas depends purely on his memory of his previous life, and he can only write the general main storyline based on these memories.

As December approaches, the weather in Yanjing has quietly become a little chillier, making people truly feel the arrival of winter.

The biting cold wind whistled past, and pedestrians on the street wrapped themselves tightly in thick clothing, trying to avoid the biting cold.

But for Shen Lang, traveling in this season is much more comfortable. He only needs to put on a hat and pull the scarf up to his nose, which is like building a solid protective wall for himself. With such disguise, no one can recognize him.

The same was true for Gao Yuanyuan beside him, who was able to move freely through the streets and alleys, enjoying this rare freedom.

"It snowed so early this year that it stopped snowing at the end of the year." "New Police Story" has been completed and Gao Yuanyuan has returned, but the snow in Yanjing came earlier than usual this year, on November 11, and she missed it.

"It's so cold this year, it will probably snow again during the Spring Festival." Shen Lang really likes watching the snow scene in the capital, which is full of ancient charm and pleasing to the eye.

After having some fun outside, the two returned to the villa.

After Shen Lang entered the room, he took off his coat and walked straight to the study.

He currently has an unfinished task, which is to prepare songs for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Last year, his song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" became popular all over the country. With its cheerful melody and lyrics full of blessings, it became the New Year's song in major shopping malls and supermarkets.

This year he didn't want to continue with the cheerful style, but wanted to find a heartfelt song.

Shen Lang sat at the desk, closed his eyes, and quietly recalled the moving melodies from his previous life.

Soon, countless images emerged in his mind, including laughter, tears, touching moments and warmth.

Gradually, some melodies began to become clear in his mind. He opened his eyes, picked up a pen, and began to write in the songbook.

Before long, three songs came to life on paper.

At this time, Gao Yuanyuan walked in quietly, holding a porcelain bowl in her hand. There was a wisp of hot steam coming out of the bowl. She said softly, "Is it not disturbing you? I made some ginger and sugar water. Drinking a little can drive away the cold."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "No need to bother you, I just finished writing."

Gao Yuanyuan handed him the bowl and asked curiously, "What's the song from the Spring Festival Gala?"

Shen Lang took the bowl from her, and said, "That's great. Please help me choose a song and I'll sing it later."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Okay, let me take a look." Then she picked up the songbook on the desk.
