Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

"Shen Lang!"

"Sun Yanzi!"

That’s right, they were both recognized.

Although the filming location chosen this time is in the suburbs, we thought it would be relatively quiet and convenient for filming.

But this suburb is not a deserted place, and there are still pedestrians passing by from time to time.

Just now, some young people happened to pass by here. At first, they may have just taken a casual glance, but after this glance, they always felt that the two people in front of them looked particularly familiar.

So they couldn't help but take a few more glances, and after a careful look, they finally confirmed that the people in front of them were their favorite Shen Lang and Sun Yanzi.

After this confirmation, the young men became instantly excited, with irrepressible joy on their faces. They shouted their names and ran over happily, as if they were afraid that they would run away if they were a step late.

"Hello." Shen Lang had a friendly smile on his face and responded gently to these enthusiastic young people.

"Hello." Sun Yanzi also smiled, with friendliness and affinity in her eyes, and greeted them along with Shen Lang.

"Wow, it's really you, I'm so lucky!" A girl's face flushed with excitement, she was so adorable. She was a loyal fan of Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun. Whenever they held a concert in Tiaobei, she would buy tickets and go to the scene to give her the most enthusiastic support.

"I love your songs so much, especially 'Marry Me Today'. This song was sung at my wedding, and I feel so happy every time I hear it." The oldest girl said happily. She could only see them on TV before, but this time she could actually meet her idol so close. It felt like a dream and she was so excited.

"Brother Lang, Sister Yanzi, can you get me an autograph?" A young-looking girl asked with a little shyness but full of expectation. Her eyes were sparkling and she kept staring at the two of them, hoping to get a positive answer.

"Of course." Shen Lang smiled and nodded.

"I also want!"

"And I!"

Everyone started talking and the scene suddenly became lively. No one wanted to miss this rare opportunity to get their idol's autograph.

So, Shen Lang and Sun Yanzi patiently signed autographs for them one by one, and after signing, they took photos with them.

During this process, the two of them always maintained a friendly smile and tried their best to satisfy the wishes of these fans.

When these young people learned that their idols were actually filming a MV here, they were very sensible and took the initiative to step aside, quietly watching Shen Lang, Stefanie Sun, and the entire filming team busy at work.

"Do you think that the fact that they are filming a music video here means that a new album will be released soon?" A girl couldn't help but lower her voice and asked her companions with full anticipation.

“Of course. Normally, they prepare the song first, then shoot the MV, and then release the album.” Another girl immediately responded with a firm tone in her voice.

"But, Brother Lang's new album was released not long ago. How can he have a new album so soon?" Someone frowned slightly and raised the doubt in his mind.

"Well, maybe it's Stefanie Sun's new album." Someone guessed with a sudden inspiration.

"That's actually possible." The others nodded, agreeing with the idea.

"Anyway, no matter whose new album it is, as long as the songs are written by Brother Lang, it's fine. The songs he writes are all super nice and they always give people surprises." A girl said with her chin in her hands, looking infatuated.

……

In this way, these young people chatted in low voices, and the more they talked, the higher their expectations for the new album became, and they couldn't wait to hear these new songs.

On the other side, Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun were concentrating on shooting the MV.

According to the script, they either looked at each other affectionately with love in their eyes, or hugged each other gently, conveying each other's warmth, or played playfully, showing that unique intimacy.

These sweet interactions were seen by fans not far away, so gossip was inevitable.

So, they started chatting enthusiastically about the topic of screen lovers again.

As a result, these people all like different things.

Some people firmly support the couple of Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun, and think that the sweetness they showed in the MV cannot be hidden in front of the camera, which makes people particularly enviable.

But there are also people who particularly like the combination of Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan. They think that when the two stand together, their temperaments are particularly compatible. One is handsome and the other is gentle, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Others are fond of the pair of Shen Lang and Liu Yifei. They think that they are both very good-looking and the picture is so beautiful that it is beyond words, as if they are a fairy couple who walked out of a book.

Then, no one was willing to give in, and the argument became heated, with everyone trying to argue for their favorite screen couple.

Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun were concentrating on the filming of the MV at the time and had no idea that a few fans not far away were almost quarreling because they liked different on-screen couples.

Just like that, after two hours of intensive shooting, all the required materials were shot and then we left the filming location.

Not surprisingly, the next day, the entertainment news was dominated by Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun.

Those editors knew that they were filming a MV at the time, but in order to attract more traffic and attention, they deliberately omitted this key fact and did not write it in the news.

As a result, many people who were unaware of the situation thought that there was some new development after seeing the news, and began to eat up the gossip with relish. All kinds of speculations and discussions were in full swing, and they were all curious about whether Shen Lang and Stefanie Sun were really together.

However, there are also some people who are no longer surprised by this. After all, the rumors about these two people have been spread again and again, but every time in the end it turns out to be just groundless rumors, so they just laugh it off and don't take the news too seriously.

After seeing the news, Du Ting immediately went to ask Shen Lang whether public relations needed to be handled immediately to suppress these false rumors and avoid unnecessary impact on their image.

At first, Shen Lang thought that it was unnecessary. After all, similar rumors had been spread many times before, and each time they ended in nothing with no real impact. But then he thought again, this was a good opportunity for publicity.

As a result, public relations processing directly turned into publicity.

Stefanie Sun posted a clip of the MV she filmed yesterday on her Sina blog. The clip is very short, only about ten seconds long, and it features her, Shen Lang, and their interaction, and is accompanied by the melody of a new song. At the end, she added a caption: "On May 5, the new album "I Remember", so stay tuned!"

In this way, they not only cleverly responded to the rumors, but also successfully spread the news of the new album.

"Let me tell you, these news are not to be trusted."

"It's happened so many times, is there anyone else being deceived?"

"I hope so. I like this couple very much."

"What's the point of the scandal? The new album is the surprise!"

"There's still more than a month left. It's hard to wait."

"It's 'I Remember', which is a bit confusing."...

Shen Lang's move attracted the attention of many fans and netizens, making everyone look forward to Stefanie Sun's upcoming new album. They began to speculate what style the album would be, what good songs would be included, and so on.

He is an expert at playing tricks.

Moreover, the true and false scandals over time have, to a certain extent, numbed everyone's attitude towards his love life. When people are used to news about his scandals popping up from time to time and there is no solid evidence, they will not over-explore or be overly sensitive about his love life.

This is a good thing.

However, it took two days to shoot an MV, and without Ning Hao, the efficiency was much lower.

There was no way, Ning Hao had his own new movie to prepare, and Shen Lang felt that his talent should be used in movies.

As for the MV, it’s not an unsolvable problem. We just need to train another director.

On the third day, Stefanie Sun and the director went to look for a filming location for another MV, and Shen Lang happened to have some free time and came to the company.

In the recording studio, Angela Chang, Corey Wang, and Yang Zongwei arrived very early, and each of them went in and sang his or her own song.

"Since you are ready, let's start." Shen Lang said directly when he saw that they were ready.

"Then, let me go first." Yang Zongwei took the initiative to speak.

Angela Chang and Xinling Wang had no objection. The order of recording was not really important. The key was to sing their own songs well.

"From where there is nothing

To a place where there is nothing

We acted as if nothing happened

Just walking on the road by yourself..."

Soon, Yang Zongwei's singing voice was heard from the recording studio.

This song "Actually Nothing" can be regarded as his representative work in the original time and space. Although he was not good-looking and looked as rustic as a "caveman" at that time, he became famous overnight with his moving voice and various right and wrongs, and became a popular singer on the Avenue of Stars.

Here, he was discovered directly and became famous ahead of time. Shen Lang was attracted by Yang Zongwei's voice. When singing, his vocal cords have a large vibration area and a solid sound quality. Singers of the same type often pay more attention to strength and even domineering. However, Yang Zongwei can use his solid sound quality to sing out extremely delicate effects.

Although many people often say that singers such as Li Jian, Lin Zhixuan, etc. have a particularly oriental sense of language, strictly speaking, the oriental sense of language of these singers is still shaped by the instrumentalization of vocals. In comparison, Yang Zongwei's oriental sense of language appears more colloquial because it is shaped through the singing style itself.

“I also had aspirations, but it didn’t work out.

I can only rely on one song to really speak for me

With a particularly dry throat

Singing a faint sadness..."

Yang Zongwei's singing was very good, with no obvious problems.

His iconic "crying voice" is a highlight and is very recognizable.

The amazing thing about this unique crying voice is that it can easily linger in the range of A4~B4, and beneath the outer shell of the crying voice is a dense metallic sound quality, which makes his voice sound more textured.

This is also Yang Zongwei's winning magic weapon in the field of singing, allowing him to stand out among many singers and have his own place.

"You sang very well. You can use it directly now." After he finished singing, Shen Lang clapped and praised him.

"Thank you, boss." Yang Zongwei said with a smile.

Then, Zhang Shaohan entered the recording studio.

"Every time I'm wandering and lonely, I'm strong
No matter how hurt I am, I won’t shed tears every time

I know I have always had invisible wings
Take me flying over despair..."

"Invisible Wings" is also one of Zhang Shaohan's representative works.

Back then, perhaps only elderly people didn’t know this song. The popularity of this song was unimaginable. In major shopping malls and on the streets, everyone had this song on their mobile phones and mp3s, and this was still normal. The most amazing thing was that it was once used as the topic material for the Chinese composition in the college entrance examination, which shows how great the influence of this song was.

Zhang Shaohan's voice is clear, particularly bright, full of momentum, extremely penetrating, and highly recognizable, which is the key factor in her popularity.

It is amazing that such a powerful voice can burst out from such a thin body.

"I finally see all my dreams come to fruition

The young singing voice of chasing is so loud

I finally soar and gaze with my heart without fear

Just fly as far as you can wherever there is wind..."

However, if you want to truly bring out the advantages of your voice and sing this song completely and emotionally, it is not so easy.

Zhang Shaohan is too young. Singing is just her hobby. She has never received any systematic and professional vocal training, but she doesn’t know much about many professional singing techniques, such as how to use breath correctly to support high notes, how to make the tone rounder and fuller by adjusting the vocal position, or how to express emotions more clearly through subtle changes in pitch and rhythm, etc.

It is precisely because they have various shortcomings in singing that the significance of Shen Lang's coming here is highlighted.

After Zhang Shaohan finished singing the whole song, Shen Lang began to talk about a series of problems she encountered during the singing process: "Shaohan, when you were singing the high notes just now, your breath obviously didn't support you, causing your voice to float. At this time, you have to learn to use the power of your abdomen to push your breath, just like taking a deep breath and then exhaling slowly, so that the breath is continuously and steadily supplied, so that the high notes can be sung solidly..."

As for Zhang Shaohan, she listened very seriously and attentively. These suggestions were so valuable to her. She was afraid that she would not be able to remember them or remembered them wrongly, so she quickly took a pen and paper and carefully wrote down every key point that Shen Lang said.

After Shen Lang's careful training, Angela Chang sang this song again, and the result was like another song, full of emotion and skill. It was a qualitative leap compared to the previous one.

Finally, it was Wang Xinling's turn. (End of this chapter)
