Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Chapter 115 Holy crap, it's him again?

early morning.

After they finished their massages, Shen Yan took Xu Ge back to his hotel.

It's a proper massage!

A proper massage is much more comfortable than those shady, unorthodox massages.

That night, Shen Yan also satisfied his curiosity.

Mother Nie's.

Brother Xu is really good at hiding things.

We drank so much together and went fishing so many times in our past lives, yet we never revealed a single word of each other.

However, he also understands Brother Xu.

Being a live-in son-in-law is tough.

Fortunately, he and Sister-in-law Xu were truly in love, and there were no major problems after their marriage. Until Shen Yan's rebirth, nothing major seemed to have happened.

At that time, Brother Xu continued to eat, drink, and fish as usual.

Although he knew those things, Shen Yan didn't feel that anything had changed.

Whether or not there is that kind of relationship, should we be friends, or not? If we can't get along, what does it matter even if we can talk to each other from top to bottom?

What does it have to do with him?

hum!

hum!

On the way back to the apartment, Zhang Dandan sent a text message.

[Yan-ge, "Before Dawn" is premiering on a local TV station tomorrow, don't forget to post about it on Weibo!]

【knew】

If it weren't for this text message, he would have completely forgotten about it.

Tajir has been very busy lately.

soon.

Back at Pier No. 1 apartment, before getting out of the car, Shen Yan gave the driver a red envelope, after all, he had been running around for most of the day and it was still so late.

Giving a small red envelope is only fair.

The money they gave wasn't much either.

It's only 600 yuan.

It symbolizes good fortune and he carries many of these red envelopes with him. He will give one to any employee who is working overtime.

Why not spend a little money to leave yourself with a good reputation?

When Shen Yan got home, he opened the door and was taken aback to see Liu Shishi curled up on the sofa playing on her phone.

"You guys're done?"

"Yeah, it was just me, Sister K, and Lao Hu. We parted ways after having our late-night snack."

Upon seeing him return, Sister Xia immediately raised her hands in a coquettish manner.

"hug."

"You're back quite early."

Shen Yan walked to the sofa, pulled Xia Jie into his arms, and smiled as he smelled the milky scent emanating from her.

"It smells quite nice."

The milky scent isn't naturally present; it comes from body lotion.

"That's right."

The blind woman raised her eyebrows smugly.

"I got back around 10 o'clock, just to take a nice shower."

As she spoke, Liu Shishi secretly sniffed the fragrance on Shen Yan's body. When she smelled the essential oil scent, she asked, seemingly intentionally, seemingly unintentionally.

"You guys went to a spa?"

"Yes, the one owned by Hu Yanbing's friend."

Hearing this, Sister Xia felt relieved; it was a legitimate place. Then, she chuckled, turned over, hooked her arm around Shen Yan's neck, and started acting like a hooligan.

"Then—let my sister check, check, to see if it really was just a massage."

pity.

She has sensitive skin.

dish.

In the second round, Shen Yan specially made Xia Jie wear those classic red-soled shoes.

The problem is that this house isn't quite right.

There's no view at all next to the sofa; if it faced the Huangpu River, it would definitely have a different kind of charm.

This matter is easy to resolve.

the next day.

Shen Yan took Xia Jie and Zhang Dandan to COFCO Ocean View No. 1.

The house viewing process went smoothly.

The claim that there are no available properties is utter nonsense.

Not only does it have it, but it's also a pretty good floor.

In less than half an hour, Shen Yan had finalized a purchase for a large 33-story apartment with a floor area of ​​346 square meters, featuring a huge living room and a curved viewing balcony.

He bought unit 02, which has a focused, almost unobstructed view of the Bund's historic buildings overlooking the Huangpu River.

Although this apartment type gets quite a bit of afternoon sun, the unbeatable river view more than makes up for it.

Once the apartment is handed over at the end of the year, the privacy glass will be replaced, allowing you to enjoy panoramic views of the historic buildings from all over the world while standing on one side – that would be more exciting than anything else.

of course.

It's really expensive.

Although the developer gave him a discount, the price per square meter was still over 9 yuan, and the total price was over 3200 million yuan.

The down payment is 30%, which is 975 million.

Nearly a year after his rebirth, this was Shen Yan's biggest expense.

Next, the payment and contract signing went smoothly, and all that was left was for the bank to release the funds.

After completing all the formalities, Shen Yan led the two back to the house for a quick look.

Looking at the empty hall, Sister Blind turned around and said.

"Will this place be ready for delivery by the end of the year?"

"Around November, but I'll need to buy some furniture later, so moving in will definitely have to wait until next year."

COFCO Ocean View One is delivered fully furnished, with all hard furnishings already completed.

As a landmark luxury residential complex, the kitchen and bathroom brands are all big names such as Gaggenau, Villeroy & Boch, and Hansgrohe.

There's not much to worry about regarding the quality of the renovation.

The decorating style is alright, modern and minimalist, but the floor color is too old-fashioned. I'll pry it up and replace it with a new set.

For other places, just find a designer to make some changes.

"Let's go, Dandan."

A moment later, Shen Yan called out towards the balcony.

"oh oh."

Zhang Dandan came to her senses. Although she had known for a long time that Yan Ge was going to buy such an expensive house, she was still deeply shocked when she saw this river-view penthouse today.

So this is what houses rich people live in.

Compared to the apartment she rented, it was like heaven and earth.

The price is just too high.

Even if she becomes a famous agent in the future, she still won't be able to afford it.

On the way back, Xia Jie was also very excited, chattering about how to decorate the house and where to buy furniture.

Sister Xia didn't calm down until she got back to the company.

Because I need to work.

These past two days have been spent trying on costumes. Today, I tried on the modern outfits for "Love O2O". All the outfits for the male and female leads were provided by Armani's AX line.

During this time, Shen Yan also made sure to promote "Before Dawn".

Although the copyright fees paid for "Before Dawn" and "The Indelible Number" were not high, only 40 yuan was paid for the two licenses.

but.

Both are great shows. It's just a matter of posting on Weibo; it doesn't take much effort.

After posting on Weibo, he didn't pay attention to it until after 9 p.m., when he had tried on all the clothes and returned to his apartment, he finally had a chance to log on to Weibo.

then.

His Weibo comment section exploded.

[Holy crap!!! Yan Ge wrote the theme song for a spy drama? That's such a huge leap!]

"Because we enjoy its brilliance, because we endure its decay," this lyric is absolutely brilliant!

"Holding a spark in hand, waiting in the darkest hour," the darkest hour is before dawn. This song is a perfect tribute to those who hold fast to their faith in the darkness!

["You fell asleep, but time kept moving forward." "You were afraid, and when you looked up, the dream was over." These first two lines are simply divine!]

[Yan-ge, you're too ruthless, another tearjerker!]

["Would you like to see a sea of ​​flowers in full bloom? Would you like to see the swallows return?"—A tribute to those unsung heroes!]

How can someone write lyrics like this at 21? I was still failing advanced calculus at 21. How can there be such a huge difference between people?

["You must see the flowers bloom, you must wait for the swallows to return," the ending credits made me cry so much.]

[Although—but—these lyrics are so heavy! You're only 21! Can't you write something sweet about love? You always make people cry!]

[I'm desperately seeking the complete audio version, please, please, please—]

【————】

Seeing the screen full of comments, Shen Yan responded with a Weibo post.

[Don't rush if you want the full version. I'll be releasing an OST compilation in a while, which will include the songs I wrote for the TV series.]

This was something that had been discussed beforehand.

He had previously signed a three-album contract with Gold Typhoon. For the third album, he originally planned to release a digital rock album, but now he's releasing an OST compilation, which is much easier.

After all, he has already written five OST songs, and if you include "Half City of Smoke and Sand", that makes six.

If you add the promotional song "A Little Sweet" for "Love O2O" in advance, you'll have a total of seven songs.

Yes.

Shen Yan also made his move against another of the three giants of QQ.

Although "A Little Sweet" was released in 2012, which is quite recent, it is a duet love song with BY2.

According to industry practice, these duet love songs are highly customized, and are basically created and released in the same year.

Just like Xu Song's "Plain Face" released this month, this song was commissioned by Huayi Music and specially written for He Manting.

Since his debut, Shen Yan has released two albums, but none of his released songs are sweet duets.

Moreover, those songs aren't really suitable for karaoke.

Pulling out "A Little Sweet" can not only complete an OST compilation, but also expand the karaoke channel and promote "Love O2O" in advance.

Achieving multiple goals at once.

suitable.

"You have so many comments on your Weibo posts?"

Just as Shen Yan was replying to comments with great intensity, Xia Jie, who had just finished showering, came over with a fresh fragrance and casually rested her head on his shoulder.

"Is it a lot?" Shen Yan asked, feigning surprise.

"Hmph, you're a well-fed person who doesn't know the hunger of an starving person!"

Xia Jie rolled her eyes at him. She has hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo, but her activity level is far lower than Shen Yan's.

The number of replies is often only a few hundred.

Unlike Shen Yan's side, where they easily break a thousand or even tens of thousands.

"Are you starving?" Shen Yan joked with a laugh. "You eat so much every day, where would you be hungry?"

"Pooh."

The blind woman spat.

You can't expect something ivory from a dog's mouth.

"Okay, okay, okay, then don't come to my bed tonight." Shen Yan chuckled and continued to tease her.

"Fine, then don't go!"

She's very stubborn, but her actions tell a different story.

When it was time to sleep, Shen Yan had just lain down in bed when she quietly and stealthily slipped into bed herself.

then!

Stick tightly to it!

Although it was a red-light district today and she couldn't do *that*, the scent of Shen Yan made her sleep more peacefully.

Seeing Xia Jie nestled beside him like a cat, Shen Yan smiled and pulled her into his arms.

I'm sleeping vegetarian today.

Because he's a law-abiding citizen.

Silent all night.

When Shen Yan woke up the next morning, his phone was flooded with text messages.

Luo Liping, the vice president of Hualu Baina, the director, screenwriter, and lead actor of "Before Dawn," as well as Huang Sanshi and others, all sent text messages expressing their gratitude.

Like most TV series, "Before Dawn" was first broadcast on terrestrial television as a trial before being broadcast on satellite TV.

Furthermore, it landed on seven terrestrial television stations in one go.

To complement this song, the director specially edited a version of the end credits song.

Not only was the ending theme song cut, but Shen Yan also cut a portion of "What Can I Use to Keep You Here".

no way.

The original song is over 5 minutes long, how can it be used if it's so long?

Shen Yan cut out the repetitive sections and didn't use the original song's "Hey, you forgot, the cold wind that cuts through the wound" at the beginning.

Instead, it jumps directly into the second verse, "Hey, you're asleep, but time keeps moving on."

This cut reduced the time by more than two minutes.

He then cut out some of the repetitive parts in the bridge and outro, keeping most of them only once.

The song's final length was condensed to 3 minutes and 15 seconds.

If this were a standalone song, the impact of this editing would definitely not be as strong as the original.

But as the end credits song, paired with footage specially edited by the director, it's quite fitting.

The deeper the plot goes, the more the audience becomes involved, and the stronger the emotional impact of the song becomes.

This is not.

In the following days, more and more comments appeared in Shen Yan's Weibo comment section, all urging for the full version of the audio.

Riding on the momentum from the previous controversy, music critics have once again launched a double chorus of praise.

They didn't charge any money this time!

Purely for appreciation.

then.

Another large number of haters and rival fans have lost their temper.

Damn it!

Is this never going to end?

Has there been any peace and quiet since the beginning of the year?

The hype had barely died down when, damn it, another one of his signature songs came out?

That's inhuman!

Are you leaving any way for others to survive?
