Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 65: Climbing a Tree on a Dark and Windy Night (Please Read on Tuesday)
The filming of the TV series is nearing its end. Because he had taken almost a week's leave to run around for announcements, Shen Juan now needs to return to the crew immediately and complete his filming tasks as soon as possible, so as not to extend the filming period and affect the subsequent schedules that have been scheduled.

While waiting for the flight to take off in the waiting room, Yangjin Zhuoma sat next to Shen Juan and talked to her about work.

"When you were on stage yesterday, I had a brief chat with their person in charge backstage. He said that you should try to write an English song for the promotional song for the World Finals so that it can be aimed at a global audience."

"I had this plan in mind."

After all, last year's finals had over one million viewers, excluding Chinese audiences, and this year will be even more.

At a time when we are temporarily focusing on the development of domestic entertainment and have not yet opened up overseas markets, this is a good opportunity for exposure, at least to leave a name in front of global audiences.

Moreover, in the future, when I have consolidated my domestic base and started to focus some of my attention overseas to expand my visibility and influence globally, perhaps they will be surprised to find that this is the Chinese singer who sang on the S7 finals stage.
This will also help them remember him faster.

Or go a step further and become his fan.

"So what are the songs that have been scheduled for the opening ceremony?"

"First is the Chinese theme song "Hero" by Chow Yun-fat, and then there's the official theme song that Riot officially hired an American team to produce and will be released soon. There are only these two for now. If your song can get their approval, then there will be three." Yangjin Zhuoma replied.

"It seems that after the filming of the TV series is completed, we have to find time to produce this promotional song properly." Shen Juan didn't think that the song he submitted would be eliminated.

After talking about the League of Legends promotional song, the TV series script mentioned earlier has a new destination.

"One Thousand and One Nights".

The female lead has been decided, Dilraba Dilmurat.

"This is the best resource we have access to at the moment." Yangjin Zhuoma saw that Shen Juan remained silent and was afraid that he would be dissatisfied, so she added an explanation:

"There are not many TV drama projects launched in Q4, and most of them are not very good. As a new first-tier traffic star who also rose this year, you can at least match her in terms of status and popularity."

Well, it can match.

After all, Di Lieba had previously basically played the leading female role in Jiaxing's own dramas or played the second female role for Yang Mi and Tang Yan.

Even Wu Lei can outdo her in shooting the cover of Bazaar.

It has fans and traffic, but is limited by its own business capabilities and the gambling clauses that the company is burdened with. It has been involved in many bad movies and TV series, and has no access to the truly high-end mainstream TV drama resources in the film and television industry.

And Shen Juan’s case is even more exaggerated.

Former idol from a talent show, now a champion rapper.

One hundred thousand sign-ins in the super topic, top 8 male stars in the domestic entertainment industry.

Although he has filmed several dramas and can be considered an actor, the only role he has appeared in public so far is the small supporting role he made a cameo appearance in a few episodes of "Our Times".

He has never proven his ability to carry a drama.

It is understandable that the film and television industry is suspicious of him.

So it seems that what he said was true: this is indeed the best resource he can access at the moment.

The plane took off from Beijing in the morning and landed at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport in the afternoon. It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Shen Juan arrived at the current shooting location of the crew.

On a mountain.

The plot that needed to be filmed was New Year's Eve camping.

It was at this time that the male protagonist Tan Song discovered that he had fallen in love with his childhood sweetheart Huang Chengzi.

However, considering that the male lead had been traveling all day and was exhausted, and that the crew had only moved here this afternoon, Cat's Tree simply did not arrange any night scenes, and let everyone rest for a night in the rented B&B at the foot of the mountain.

Get enough rest and prepare for tomorrow's shooting.

The environment of the homestay where Shen Juan lives is quite good. There is a big tree downstairs that is estimated to be more than ten meters high.

People in Wuhan generally like to plant camphor trees on the roadside as street trees because they are both beautiful and can adapt to the local climate.

Like the camphor tree planted downstairs by Shen Juan, it is one of the camphor trees that can be seen everywhere on both sides of the roads in WH city.

It looks like it has been there for quite a while. The straight, tough and sturdy trunk rises from the ground to the sky, and the intricate branches stretch out, right next to the window of the homestay. As long as he opens the window while living on the second floor, he can touch the emerald green leaves and smell the fresh fragrance.

That night, Shen Juan took a shower and stayed in his room, typing on his laptop to summarize the arrangement details of the League of Legends promotional song.

To put it bluntly, only he knows this song, and only he can reproduce it one-to-one.

But after all, he is not an experienced music producer with strong professional abilities, and it is impossible for him to complete a series of tasks such as writing lyrics, composing, arranging, mixing and mastering by himself.

And his time is valuable.

If he wanted, he could even fill his schedule every day (countless nightclubs across the country have sent him invitations), but of course he would not accept such commercial performances.

Therefore, the most cost-effective way of working is to write down your own arrangement requirements and ideas, and hand them over to professional arrangement teachers and producers, and let them complete these complex and tedious tasks on your behalf.

“Solo with the ace.
And my team went gold.”

After writing the last line of the rap part, Shen Juan rubbed his temples, then took a long breath, stood up, and stretched to relax his muscles.

The wind outside the window was very strong, and the rustling sound of the leaves swaying in the wind became the best artifact to relieve boredom at this moment.

Just at this time.
"Boom!"

"Dong dong!"

A few crisp sounds of knocking on the glass came from the window, attracting the attention of Shen Juan who was checking the time.

It's already half past ten at night.
It’s the middle of the night, is this a ghost?

But when he pulled open the curtains and was about to open the window to see what was going on, he met a very familiar face through the glass.

Who else could the girl with a bright smile on her face outside the window be if not the heroine of this play, Tian Xiwei?
then
She seemed to have climbed up from this camphor tree. Wait, Ward, bro! Climbed up?!

Where did this Romeo and Juliet come from!

"Ah, good evening! And... Juanjuan, can you open the window and let me in? After all, it's tiring to stand on the tree all the time." Tian Xiwei's smile was a little awkward, and it seemed that she also felt that climbing a tree was a bit outrageous.

I can't let you go back the way you came and climb down again.
Shen Juan, somewhat speechless, signaled Tian Xiwei to step back, then opened the window, carefully held her outstretched right hand, and carried her into his room.

It was not until then that Shen Juan realized how miserable this girl, who was very concerned about her image and had a heavy idol image, was at the moment. Not only were her clothes stained with emerald green sap, but even her originally smooth long hair was messed up by the intricate branches of the camphor tree while she was climbing the tree. There were even scratches on her hands.

They looked at each other in silence for a while, then Shen Juan held Tian Xiwei's unscratched wrist and took her to the bathroom to wash the dirt and wound on her hands.

He then took the girl back to the bedroom, made her sit on the bed, and took out a simple red medical kit from the suitcase. He found ointments and band-aids specifically for abrasions and scratches and took them out.

"Hand." Shen Juan walked over and sat next to Tian Xiwei, looking into her eyes and said with a complicated look.

Tian Xiwei didn't dare to disobey any order given by Shen Juan in this state. She quickly stretched out her right hand, then opened her clear and bright big eyes, making a weak, helpless, innocent and cute look.

But Shen Juan didn't buy her trick at all.

Instead, use a sterilized cotton swab to gently and evenly apply the squeezed ointment on the wound and scratches as carefully as possible.

"Does it hurt?" Shen Juan asked without raising his head.

"Kind of."

Tian Xiwei looked at Shen Juan who was carefully treating her wounds. Her eyes and voice became softer. Her head was buzzing inexplicably, her heart was beating fast, and she felt a little numb.

This feeling is really comfortable and wonderful.

She hoped that today would continue like this.

"Then why didn't you say anything?"

"I'm not that kind of pretentious girl." Tian Xiwei pursed her lips and muttered softly, like a cute and naive little animal.

Sighing silently in his heart, Shen Juan put down Tian Xiwei's right hand, raised his head and looked face to face at the girl's eyes that were emitting innocent and blinking light.

Tian Xiwei quickly sat up straight, like a loyal subject welcoming the inspection of the extremely noble king.

If you even think of her as a rabbit, she would be so nervous that her ears would stand up.

Shen Juan suddenly couldn't hold back his smile and quickly lowered his head so as not to be noticed by the nervous girl.

"The other hand."

"Oh."

Tian Xiwei obediently stretched out her left hand again.

"Are there any other injuries?"

"Nothing."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

After treating the wound, Shen Juan looked at Tian Xiwei who was sitting upright on her bed. He tried to control the smile in his heart and said in a deep voice, "You climbed up the tree to see me so late at night. Is there something important?"

"Actually, I just wanted to wish you the championship. It's been a while since we last met. I heard from Uncle Cat that you were on the set tonight, so I wanted to come and see you."

“Can’t we talk about it on WeChat?”

“The meaning of what you say on WeChat is different from what you say in person.”

Looking at the girl in front of him with messy hair and looking somewhat pitiful, Shen Juan was speechless for a moment.

"Why climb a tree then?"

"I'm afraid that others will see me knocking on your door in the middle of the night, which will have a bad influence on you. I see that you seem to have a lot of haters recently."

What Tian Xiwei didn't say was that even the small Weibo account she opened specifically to fight with Shen Juan was reported by others for insults and provocations, and she had to change accounts one after another.

The intensity of the fan circle quarrels centered on Shen Juan during this period is so high that it can be called the new era fan circle version of the "Verdun meat grinder"!
"All right."

Shen Juan was speechless again, even though Tian Xiwei's sudden whim to climb the tree and knock on the window tonight, a childish behavior that could be called crazy at any time, scared him.

But to be honest, I was actually quite touched.

Regardless of whether this is her true thought or not.

At least he was moved by her words that she wanted to come and congratulate him in person on winning the championship, or by her behavior of climbing a tree in the middle of the night just to see him.

And that's enough, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Shen Juan gradually raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a gentle smile from the heart, and then reached out to help her clean up the dead branches and leaves scattered in her hair.

Beautiful eyes are like a clear lake, with rippling blue waves reflecting the stars in the sky.

In the eyes of Tian Xiwei, whose mind and reason had already flown beyond the Milky Way, Shen Juan, who had an especially gentle smile on his face at this moment, must have looked so charming that he could kill people.

Shen Juan, ah Shen Juan. How can you be so beautiful!

Gradually, a happy, sweet smile appeared on her face, and a look of longing appeared in her eyes.
