Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

Two days later, Wang Man personally drove Zhou Yang to the recording studio that had been booked in advance.

As soon as they got out of the car, the two saw Sun Weiwei waiting at the door.

Wang Man pointed to a coffee shop next door and said with a smile, "You two go in. I'll stay at the door and let you know if you need anything."

Compared to other aspects, Zhou Yang's most proven ability over the past six months is undoubtedly songwriting. Especially at the recent rock music festival, with three excellent works, he broke into the top 100 of the Chinese composer rankings, securing the gatekeeper position.

More important than the changes in rankings is that Zhou Yang is now officially recognized by mainstream musicians, rather than the pop star who only wrote catchy songs.

Therefore, when it was heard that Zhou Yang was going to record three new songs, Wang Man, the director of the artist department, personally drove her over.

As soon as the two entered the recording studio, Zhou Yang's right hand began to wander and put his arm around Sun Weiwei's shoulder. Surprisingly, she did not resist or shake his arm off; she simply gave him a dismissive look.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang glanced at the girl's luscious lips and couldn't help but kiss them.

"Waaah~"

When her red lips were suddenly attacked, Sun Weiwei instinctively wanted to fight back, but her mind went blank and her body went limp in his arms, unable to muster any strength.

Zhou Yang was secretly pleased with himself when, not long after, a sharp pain shot through his lower lip.

"Ouch...it hurts...quick...quickly loosen your grip..."

The two finally managed to separate, and Zhou Yang wiped his lower lip, finding blood on his fingers. He immediately cursed, "You're like a dog, always biting people... Ouch, that hurts so much!"

They say the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and now I finally understand that a sore lip can be just as deadly.

Sun Weiwei, her anger blazing, glared at him and said, "Hmph! Let's see if you dare to steal a kiss from me again. If you do it again, I'll bite your tongue off."

After a while, Zhou Yang was still wincing in pain. Whether it was a pang of conscience or something else, she stepped forward again and said, "Don't move, let me see..."

Seeing the bleeding wouldn't stop, Sun Weiwei blushed and immediately said, "Close your eyes, I...I'll help you stop the bleeding~"

Zhou Yang dared not provoke this little devil anymore, so he had no choice but to obediently close his eyes. But the next second, he felt a soft, cotton-like object wrapped around his lower lip, with adhesive on both sides.

"alright."

Sun Weiwei was a little embarrassed at first, but then she burst into laughter when she saw him.

Zhou Yang was very curious and asked, "What did you stick on my chin? It's so big!"

He touched it with his hand and said incredulously, "A sanitary napkin?"

"Alright, hurry up and get the song out."

Zhou Yang touched the sanitary napkin under her chin with one hand, and took out a USB drive from her pocket with the other, tossing it to her and saying, "Look for yourself."

A short while later, Sun Weiwei returned with her notebook, exclaiming in delight, "It really is three songs! You're not kidding me. By the way, why are you being so generous this time?"

Although she often bickered with Zhou Yang, she genuinely acknowledged his songwriting talent. She realized that after all the hard work she had put in since graduating from the music academy, she was able to debut thanks to one of his songs.

"Don't get too excited yet. These three songs are background music for TV dramas I filmed before. Apart from the theme song 'Unforgivable,' the other two songs are basically just filler and probably won't have much of an impact."

In her previous life, after the broadcast of "The Temptation to Go Home", apart from the theme song, the other reactions were mediocre. Zhou Yang was giving her a heads-up in advance to avoid disappointment later.

"I don't care! Who's picky about singing?"

No matter how bad the song is, as long as it's not at the level of "last-minute cramming," as long as it's associated with Zhou Yang, there's no need to worry about traffic and popularity.

For the next two weeks, Zhou Yang accompanied Sun Weiwei to record all three songs, and then sent them out through Jin Ran, who acted as her mouth double.

CTS Media, Television Drama Production Center.

"Director Zhu, I've brought you a gift!"

Jin Ran walked with a bouncy gait, swinging a USB drive tied to a rope in her hand, which contained the three background music tracks that Zhou Yang had just sent her last night.

Compared to the other department heads with their full heads of white hair, Director Zhu looked much younger, with his slicked-back hair and gold-rimmed glasses making him appear very refined.

"surprise?"

Director Zhu adjusted his glasses and laughed, "You've come to see me no less than twenty times in the past two months, I'm not surprised at all."

"I'm serious this time, okay?"

As she spoke, Jin Ran slapped the USB drive in front of him and said, "Zhou Yang finished all the music for 'The Temptation to Go Home' last night. I came here today specifically to deliver it."

Director Zhu didn't look down at the USB drive in front of him. Instead, a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes as he said, "I've already told you, 'The Temptation to Go Home' is an urban romance drama, and using rock music as background music isn't suitable. You insisted..."

Although I didn't directly deny Zhou Yang's creative talent, I was influenced by rock music recently and thought that she was more skilled in "death rock" like "Xian'er".

"Who says Zhou Yang can only write rock music?"

Jin Ran was not convinced. When it came to composing music for the TV series, she had taken the initiative to do it for Zhou Yang on set. In her heart, she secretly thought that this matter was a matter of "shared glory and shared shame".

Therefore, upon hearing that the other party looked down on Zhou Yang's achievements, he immediately spoke up to defend him.

Furthermore, she had already listened to all three songs on the USB drive last night. Although she didn't know much about pop music, she thought the melodies were quite good.

"Alright, alright, then I'll test Teacher Jin Ran's judgment now."

After saying that, Director Zhu picked up the USB drive and inserted it into the laptop on the table. Just as he was about to turn on the stereo, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

He was about to speak when he saw who it was and quickly stood up to greet them, saying, "Mr. Gao, what brings you here?"

The person who came was Gao Xiaoyu. She seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on her face. She said, "I heard that the soundtrack for 'The Temptation to Go Home' is finished, and the person in charge is a rock music festival champion. I came here to take a look."

Director Zhu glanced at Jin Ran, who was looking smug. He immediately realized that it was this girl who had informed General Manager Gao, and quickly invited him to sit down.

The first song played was the theme song, "Unforgivable." The moment play was pressed, a melodious intro, filled with the complexities of love and hate, quickly filled the speakers, followed by Sun Weiwei's signature voice:

"For the pain of all those who cling to love"

For all the pain of clinging to hatred

I can no longer distinguish between love and hate.

Is this how it is?

Blood and tears slid down together.

My heart is broken and weathered.

The trembling hands could not stop

无法原谅

... "

All three were extremely familiar with the plot of "The Temptation to Go Home". Gao Xiaoyu, the producer, once stayed up all night reading the script. Jin Ran was the female lead, and Director Zhu participated in all the post-production work.

Therefore, after listening to a section, I felt that the theme song had strong emotional tension. The lyrics, through delicate emotional descriptions, showed the despair of love and hate intertwined. It unfolded from a first-person perspective and vividly presented the struggle and helplessness after the emotional breakdown, which almost perfectly matched the melodramatic and angsty emotional disputes between men and women in the drama.

I held your hand tightly again and again.

How humble

Trying to salvage our dying struggle

High above, your lips are tightly closed

His cold gaze never wavered.

……

……

Blood and tears slid down together.

My heart is broken and weathered.

The trembling hands could not stop

无法原谅

Love turning into hate ultimately leads to despair.

When the song finished playing, Gao Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with smiles, and Jin Ran proudly raised her chin.

The former volunteered, "Director Zhu, I don't really know much about post-production and soundtracks for TV dramas, but I think 'Unforgivable' would be a good theme song. What do you think?"

"what?"

Realizing his mistake belatedly, General Manager Zhu quickly replied, "To be honest, I... I also think it's good."

Gao Xiaoyu nodded and continued, "In recent years, the gap between Huashi Media and Tangtian International in the field of TV dramas has become quite large. Since you are in charge of post-production, you sometimes need to maintain some patience and vision..."

Director Zhu blushed instantly, realizing that his initial opinion that Zhou Yang was unsuitable for composing the soundtrack for the drama might have been overheard outside the door. So he quickly said, "Director Gao, don't worry, I'll have someone prepare the contract and sign it with Mr. Zhou Yang right away."

"You're in charge, so you can make the decision. After all, I'm just the head of the film department, and I can't interfere with your normal work."

Director Zhu smiled bitterly to himself: The company belongs to your family, and besides, the chairman's invitation of this second princess back is clearly to take over the business.

At this moment, Jin Ran suddenly said, "By the way, Director Gao, Zhou Yan said he hopes that the music score can be converted into a post-production music profit-sharing arrangement, just five percent will do."

Previously, the other party, who was both the screenwriter and the male lead, took a combined 25%. Now, with the music score taking an additional 5%, that's 30%.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhu asked with doubt, "Isn't 5% for the background music a bit too high?"

"No……"

Jin Ran was about to speak when Gao Xiaoyu spoke up first, saying, "Not at all. Such a good theme song would definitely cost a lot if we hired top composers from the market to work on it. Besides..."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Zhou Yang is the male lead again. When the drama airs, the viewership bonus will bring in more than just this amount of money. Let's settle on a 5% contract."

"Okay, Mr. Gao, I'll arrange it right away."

After saying that, Director Zhu complained in his heart: "I've never seen a soundtrack artist ask for a share of the TV series' profits before. They're desperately throwing their own money away. How come they don't know how to be frugal?"
