Chapter 166 Xiao Tian was so shocked his scalp tingled!

Tian Xiwei practices songs at the music room.

Li Shen sat in the living room, pondering the question of the actor's role.

He wrote the song "Today You're Going to Marry Me" so that he could use it in the stage play "The Hidden Corner".

Li Shen is tentatively cast as Tian Xiwei in the role of Xu Jing, Zhang Dongsheng's wife.

In "The Hidden Corner", Xu Jing has very few scenes, and in Li Shen's stage play version, Xu Jing's scenes will not be more than other characters.

But Li Shen believes that the character Xu Jing will leave a deep impression on the audience, and he will also strive to ensure that every other actor can shine on stage in the same way.

He made some changes to Xu Jing's character design.

The biggest change was that he removed the original plot where Xu Jing's infidelity ultimately led Zhang Dongsheng to commit murder.

From a realistic and logical standpoint, the original setting of the drama is not problematic.

According to judicial statistics, in cases where the husband cheats on his wife, the proportion caused by the wife's infidelity is approximately 35%–45%.

Therefore, the "wife-in-law" plots in movies and TV dramas are basically triggered by infidelity. While this is logical, it's too simplistic.

often.

The plot is plausible but not particularly impactful.

Moreover, Li Shen was not interested in cuckoldry plots when he was a screenwriter and director.

As for the character Zhang Dongsheng, in the original drama, he married into the Xu family; he was a son-in-law.

However, in Li Shen's stage play version, he changed the essence of Zhang Dongsheng's role as a son-in-law in the original play to the words of being teased by his friends and his habitual self-deprecating remarks.

This character is extremely contrasting. He is gentle and harmless in front of others, but he is paranoid, extreme, insecure, sensitive, and has a strong desire for control. He even killed his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife, Xu Jing, with his own hands.

Lei Jiayin and others are too old and unsuitable. Jiang Qiming is 33, which is barely acceptable in age, but his appearance is still lacking.

It's not that Jiang Qiming can't play the role, but rather that the contrast isn't strong enough; he's not the best choice.

So who is the best choice?

Li Shen walked into the restroom and looked at the face in the mirror—a face with red lips, white teeth, and a gentle, jade-like beauty.

He moved his facial muscles, his eyes darkened slightly, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

Guo Qilin hummed a little tune as he walked into the restroom: "Brother Dog."

Li Shen slowly turned his head, a chilling glint in his deep voice: "You're back?"

Guo Qilin's smile vanished instantly, his eyes widened, his body instinctively leaned back, and his lips trembled slightly: "I...I...I'm back, you...you...you—"

Li Shen has returned to normal.

Yes, the contrast is there in him!

He's more suitable for the role of Zhang Dongsheng.

As for Tian Xiwei playing Zhang Dongsheng's wife Xu Jing, it's a challenge for this sweet girl.

However, a crucial step for her to become a serious actress was stepping out of her comfort zone!

Guo Qilin gasped, then asked in a panic, "Brother Gou, what just happened to you?"

"It's alright, I'll just try it out." Li Shen's smile was gentle and innocent.

"Oh, that scared me to death." Guo Qilin patted his chest.

Li Shen's warm smile suddenly froze, his eyes lowered, and a chilling aura emanated from him.

Guo Qilin's heart leaped: "What...what's wrong now? Did my brother do something wrong?"

Li Shen's expression softened again, and he smiled brightly, "As I said before, I'm just giving it a try!"

Guo Qilin turned to Song Dandan: "Aunt Dandan, he's trying to scare me!"

Song Dandan stood a few meters away, looking at Li Shen in surprise.

This kid can get into character instantly, and his acting is so good.

As a renowned actress and stage actress, she has seen countless outstanding performers throughout her 40-year acting career.

However, Li Shen's sudden change in demeanor, which had been so composed just moments before, took her by surprise.

She saw the charm of a veteran actor in Li Shen!

But he's only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, isn't he?

Furthermore, isn't he a singer, poet, writer, and screenwriter? Does that mean he's also an actor?

Guo Qilin continued, "Aunt Shan, please stand up for me! Li Shen just scared me!"

Song Dandan looked at Li Shen, wanting to see his acting skills again: "Li Shen, could you scare me again?"

Li Shen: "Huh!"

Song Dandan:

..."

Li Shen smiled, turned and left: "Goodbye, Sister Shan."

Zhou Jie walked into the living room: "What's wrong with you all? Why are you staring at Li Shen's back?"

Song Dandan exclaimed in surprise, "Zhou Jie, let me tell you, Li Shen knows how to act."

"He's a screenwriter, that's normal."

"What I mean is, he could probably perform himself, and quite possibly, he'd be an excellent actor!"

Zhou Jie smiled: "Oh? Really? What proof do you have?"

"The evidence speaks for itself."

Guo Qilin: "Brother Zhou, the way Li Shen looked at me just now was so creepy!"

Song Dandan: "Li Shen, that boy, with such a handsome face, suddenly becomes sinister and cold-blooded—the contrast is huge, it sends chills down your spine! He must be a good actor, or rather, he has a very high talent for acting!"

Zhou Jie: "Really?"

Song Dandan and Guo Qilin nodded in unison.

Zhou Jie chuckled; he didn't quite believe it.

The moment Li Shen returned to the music room, there were 800 million online viewers watching!

During the hour or so that Tian Xiwei was practicing the piano, news of Li Shen proposing to her spread like wildfire.

Weibo's trending topics surged into the top 3 and are rapidly climbing toward the top 1.

The relationship between Tian and Li has attracted much attention, and the two have been in a state of high popularity for the past three months, both being frequent trending topics.

Now, under the live broadcast camera, Li Shen wrote a song called "Today You're Going to Marry Me" and is going to perform it with Tian Xiwei. It's no wonder that netizens are speculating wildly and getting excited!

Tell me, if this isn't a marriage proposal, what else could it be?

The moment Li Shen walked into the music room, the screen was filled with comments:

【Proposal!】

【Proposal!】

【Proposal!】

When Tian Xiwei saw Li Shen come in, she gave him an "OK" sign: "I'm fine!"

"Okay, let's sing a duet, you can play the instrument."

Tian Xiwei's slender fingers landed on the piano keys.

Li Shen, with romantic notes and a soft, full voice, sings: "The blooming flowers of spring take away the sadness of winter, the breeze brings a romantic atmosphere, and every love song suddenly becomes meaningful. I suddenly see you at this moment." Tian Xiwei's singing is pleasant and melodious: "The fragrance of spring flowers takes away the chill of winter, the breeze brings unexpected love, the birds' songs bring us closer, and I suddenly fall in love with you at this moment."

Tian Xiwei smiled sweetly, her eyes brimming with happiness.

She had realized long ago that this song couldn't possibly have been written for her by Li Shen, but at this moment, she felt inexplicably happy and joyful!

The two sang together: "Listen to me, hold hands, and walk with me!"

Creating a happy life—it's too late yesterday, and you'll regret it tomorrow!

Li Shen: "Will you marry me today?"

Lang Lang, Gina, Zhang Ruonan, and others clapped and kept the rhythm, watching the perfect couple with envy!

These celebrities knew privately that Li Shen and Tian Xiwei were still in the "not quite lovers" stage, so they didn't make a big fuss, but they had already sent their sincere blessings in their hearts.

Li Shen: "Jolin in the house!"

Tian Xiwei: "DT in the house!"

Netizens were shocked.

Who is Jolin? And who is DT?

Do Li Shen and Tian Xiwei have English names?

Li Shen is too mysterious, and very little is known about him, but Tian Xiwei's information is practically transparent across the entire internet.

Tian Xiwei doesn't have the English names Jolin or DT.

Perhaps these two English names are what the couple calls each other in private?

Li Shen raps: "Ding-dong, listen to the church bells, we witness before God and our loved ones that we are building a happy family together. Would you do that?"

Yes, I do!

Upon hearing Li Shen's "Yes, do!", Zhang Ruonan clutched her chest, her eyes filled with envy: "Wow!"

At that moment, Meng Ziyi felt as if the entire music room was filled with pink bubbles.

Right now, she really wants to be in a relationship!

Tian Xiwei paused, momentarily lost in thought, her pretty face flushing red: "Hehe."

Li Shen: "What are you laughing at? Sing!"

"Oh, oh, oh!" Tian Xiwei continued playing the piano, "Listen to me, hand in hand, all the way to the end, give me your whole life—"

Wow, how romantic!

So romantic!

[Under the plums in the melon field! 】

[You guys should get Tian Lihangliang soon!]

[I'll play this song at every wedding from now on!]

Tian Xiwei asked, "How is it?"

Li Shen: "There are no major problems, but there is one minor one."

Tian Xiwei asked, "What small problem?"

"There's something wrong with your fried rice."

Tian Xiwei was overjoyed, which meant that her singing was flawless!

But what did the fried rice do to you?

Tian Xiwei asked, "What's wrong with my fried rice?"

Li Shen: "Tian Xiwei, your fried rice is quite sweet?"

Tian Xiwei: "Sweet?"

Zhang Ruonan exclaimed excitedly, "Isn't this dog food sweet? Sweet, isn't it?!"

Is this dog food sweet or not? Zhang Ruonan's heart-shaped shrimp dish deserves the most credit!

Li Shen: "Did you mistake salt for sugar?"

"Huh? Maybe I was too rushed at the time and didn't look closely, sigh—"

Zhang Ruonan was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "Then this dog food is even sweeter!"

Li Shen, hands in his pockets, said, "Let's talk about this song again."

[Attention! Dog Bro's paws are in his pocket!]

[An engagement ring?]

[Holy crap, a ring!]

[High-energy warning ahead!]

At this moment, Liu Qing, at the control room, was excitedly staring at the real-time data!

910 million people are online!

The peak viewership for the live stream of "Goodbye Lovers" was 928 million, and the peak viewership for "King of Singers" was 968 million. Will this mix-up tonight lead to an unexpected surge in popularity for "Shangri-La"?

The general public has one thing in common: they love to gossip, especially about celebrities!

At this moment, #LiShenProposesToTianXiweiDuringLiveStream# has topped the Weibo trending list!

Douyin streaming, flooding WeChat Moments —

Countless onlookers flooded in!

Li Shen and Tian Xiwei's fans arrived in huge numbers!

The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded ten million, it's just around the corner!

Liu Qing had imagined all sorts of reasons why "Shangri-La" became a hit, but she never expected that it would be this blunder tonight that would trigger such a surge in online traffic!

Inside the music room.

Langlang asked curiously, "Li Shen, is DT your English name?"

Li Shen explained, "No, don't look at me like that, and Jolin can't be my name either. DT and Jolin are my friend and his new wife, and this song is dedicated to them."

In this life, there is Jolin Tsai, but her English name is not this.

Upon hearing Li Shen's explanation, the entire internet was disappointed!

The moment Li Shen took his hands out of his pockets, the entire internet was heartbroken!

Because Li Shen's hands were empty!

There was no wedding ring as everyone had hoped!

Tens of millions of onlookers, including fans of Li and Tian, ​​failed to get their wish.

But everyone was still wanting more after listening to "Today You're Marrying Me"!

However, those who failed to get a chance to watch the show will soon be able to hear it a second time.

Li Shen said, "Let's continue practicing the song. We'll try to finish producing it and release it the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Ruonan clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute: "I've had my fill of this dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), I'll take my leave now!"

Everyone said, "You guys enjoy yourselves, we won't disturb you!"

"My blood sugar is a little high, goodbye!"

Only Li Tian and his companion remained in the music room.

Li Shentian and Xiwei continued practicing the song, rehearsing it over and over again, while the entire online audience listened quietly, immersed in the atmosphere of sweet love.

In its previous life, "Today You're Marrying Me" was a phenomenon at wedding venues since its release in 06.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this song will soon become the go-to choice for all kinds of weddings in this lifetime!

Li Shen and Tian Xiwei practiced five or six times in a row, and the audience had learned most of it.

It was nearly midnight, and the live stream was about to end, when the number of online viewers gradually dropped from a peak of 12 million to around 7 million.

Tonight, 700 million viewers across the internet listened to the song just to hear it, and some even listened to it multiple times in a row.

The most talked-about couple, the most heartwarming and romantic song—tonight, this little music room is filled with romance.

The live stream ended at 12:00.

Camera signal cut off.

This chaotic world seemed to fall silent in an instant.

Li Shen: "Tian Xiwei, the live stream is over. There are no more viewers. Now, it's just the two of us. Let's sing this song properly!"

Tian Xiwei was stunned: "Huh?"

Two people?

A formal performance?

Bro, you're not serious, are you?

Your relationship developed so suddenly, it was so abrupt!

What should we do?!

I'm so panicked!

Tian Xiwei's heart pounded, and she became nervous.

Li Shen: "Now, you sing my part, and I'll sing your part."

Tian Xiwei was taken aback: "Huh?"

Li Shen: "Sing!"

"oh."

Tian Xiwei began to sing and play the guitar: "The blooming flowers of spring take away the sadness of winter —"

A duet: "Listen to me, hand in hand—it will be a pity tomorrow."

Tien Hsi-wei: "Will you marry me today?"

Li Shen: "Xu Jing in the house!"

Tian Xiwei's arm went numb, and goosebumps instantly rose on her skin: "Huh?"

Li Shen: "Xu Jing is in the house!!"

Tian Xiwei's hands froze, the piano music stopped: "Zhang, Zhang, Zhang Dongsheng in the house?"

Li Shen: "Keep playing, Xu Jing in the house!"

"Zhang, Zhang Dongsheng is in the house!"

Duet: "Listen to me, hand in hand—more memories tomorrow."

Li Shen: "Today I'm going to marry you!"

Tian Xiwei's head buzzed, and at that moment, she understood everything!

This song, "Today You're Marrying Me," was specially written by Li Shen for the TV series "The Hidden Corner."

In the script, Zhang Dongsheng comes from a poor family and has a humble background.

Xu Jing comes from a wealthy family, and she herself is a music producer with a respectable job!

The vast difference in their family backgrounds caused Zhang Dongsheng to feel extremely inferior, and when his friends teased him about marrying into a wealthy family, he had to put on a brave face.

laugh!

The two went from being deeply in love to getting married, but their marriage eventually fell apart, leading to Zhang Dongsheng's wife being killed.

There are many reasons for this, including the unequal status of the two parties and the huge differences in their lifestyles.

However, the evil seed of "marrying into the family" was sown on the wedding day!

In Li Shen's script, there is a scene where Zhang Dongsheng watches a wedding video.

Tian Xiwei asked in horror, "So, the song Zhang Dongsheng and Xu Jing sang together in the wedding video was 'Today You're Marrying Me'?"

"right!"

"Therefore, in the wedding video, Zhang Dongsheng and Xu Jing sang very cheerfully. Xu Jing's teasing and Zhang Dongsheng's self-deprecating humor seemed to be showing affection and making friends and relatives laugh. However, Zhang Dongsheng's inner inferiority complex was at play!"

So, you wrote a line in your script where Zhang Dongsheng at the wedding had a fleeting look of sorrow and indignation in his eyes?

Is it not just because the groom's family was being neglected, but also related to this song?

"right."

Tian Xiwei's scalp tingled instantly!

The script for this stage play is so detailed that even the wedding video Zhang Dongsheng watches hints that the marriage was unfortunate from the start!

"So, when this song became a hit, when the audience watched the stage play and heard the 'sense of marrying into another family' in the song, they instantly understood Zhang Dongsheng's behavioral logic?"

In the very first scene, you even planted the seeds of tragedy in such a subtle detail?

"right!"
