Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Did David Tao forget his lyrics? What the heck is "Shen Yan, you made me cry"? Hahaha!

Holy crap! The new version is amazing!

[The adaptation is so catchy!]

[This guy in white is amazing, his rap is phenomenal!]

[Awesome, awesome, I'm going to rewatch Shen Yan's video again.]

[I've already voted for the blue and white team via SMS! Go, ladies!]

[During my interaction with the host just now, David Tao mentioned that this song was arranged by Shen Yan. Awesome!]

So handsome!

[Shen Yan blows away all the Super Boys and Super Girls! Take him home!]

[Youku, stop buffering! Stop buffering! It's incredibly laggy!]

【…】

This year, Jiangsu Province's New Year's Eve Gala partnered with Youku to launch a simultaneous online live stream. However, there were no bullet comments at this time, and netizens could only leave messages in the real-time interaction area.

Despite frequent buffering and a picture quality far inferior to television broadcasts, this new form of real-time interaction still attracted a large number of young people to watch it.

At the same time, a large number of popular posts discussing Shen Yan also emerged on mainstream Chinese online communities such as Tianya and Tieba.

Not a paid troll.

The discussions about "Golden Typhoon" and "Tangren" are not yet that fashionable; they are all spontaneously generated by the audience.

Around 2010, mobile internet was not yet widespread, short videos were nowhere to be seen, and television was still the core channel for national entertainment.

If there isn't enough attention, why would major TV stations spend so much money to compete for the viewership of the New Year's Eve gala?

"Want to grab some late-night snacks together later?"

Backstage at the New Year's Eve party, Tao Jiji, having removed her makeup, found Shen Yan.

"No, I have an appointment."

Shen Yan has no time to eat with men right now.

"A beautiful woman?"

"What else could it be? A man?"

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. See you in Hong Kong next month."

David Tao revealed a knowing smile.

"I'll take you to Lan Kwai Fong later, the girls there are absolutely gorgeous."

OK.

Shen Yan made a gesture, indicating that he and Tao Zhe were essentially the same kind of people.

It was all ruins.

Don't even try to associate yourself with those innocent, good men.

"I'm gone."

"Bye-Bye."

Before long, Shen Yan rushed to the Garden Hotel. After checking into a room on the same floor, he didn't go back to his own room but went straight to the suite next door.

Upon entering, the older sister leaped into his arms like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

A pair of long, slender, and powerful legs.

Hold it in place!

Firmly!

"love me."

I love you, I love you, I love you endlessly...

The older sister laughed and breathed heavily as the New Year's bell rang.

"Is this what you meant by a year?"

"From 2009 to 2010, isn't there a year's gap?"

"No, that's not true!!"

"I love your stubbornness."

Shen Yan gently pinched her chin and leaned down to kiss her.

"Thank you, this is the best gift I've received all year."

"Me too."

Zhang Junning returned the kiss with a blush on her cheeks.

"I'm very happy today too, thank you for the gift."

How did you know I bought a gift?

Shen Yan feigned surprise, then took out a small red velvet box from his backpack.

"what?"

The moment she saw the box, Zhang Junning covered her mouth, and her eyes instantly welled up with a moist mist.

"I hope you can win a trophy made by Chopin in the future."

Shen Yan smiled and opened the box. Inside was a classic Chopard rose gold bracelet that cost him over ten thousand yuan.

Upon learning that Zhang Junning had arrived, he immediately asked Zhang Dandan to go to the mall to buy the gift.

Chopin was chosen for its symbolic meaning.

Chopard has been the official partner of the Cannes Film Festival, and has been responsible for producing the Palme d'Or trophy every year.

This dedication completely captivated Zhang Junning. She longed to express her burning emotions, but she held back.

Some words, once spoken, cannot be taken back. For Shen Yan, starting this relationship might be a burden.

A moment later, looking at the bracelet on her wrist, Zhang Junning took the opportunity to speak her mind.

"Ayan, I love you."

The remaining emotions all turned into passionate actions.

……

2:30 a.m.

A young couple appeared in the corridor of the Garden Hotel. Shen Yan carried Zhang Junning in his arms, humming "I'm No Match for You" as they walked towards another room.

The double room she booked is no longer available for overnight stays.

The return of spring weather is too intense.

At this point, the importance of the other room becomes apparent, as for why the older sister didn't go by herself.

On the one hand, her legs were too weak to walk, and on the other hand, no matter how old a girl is, she wants to act cute in front of the person she likes.

Back in his room, Shen Yan finally managed to charge his phone.

The iPhone 3GS is great to use, but its battery life is a major drawback. The battery is not replaceable and can only be kept plugged in to keep it running, which is why many people don't use the 3GS.

hum!hum!hum!

The phone exploded as soon as I turned it on, and it kept ringing.

"I told you so, I wanted you to recharge earlier."

Zhang Junning's voice was a little hoarse.

"Work is nothing compared to you."

Women are always susceptible to sweet words, and even if they know they might be false, they will still be drawn in. And here we are, the older sister is a little infatuated again.

the other side.

Shen Yan quickly scanned his inbox and immediately made a phone call.

Huang Weijing called him seven or eight times in a row and left a message, promising to reply no matter how late it was.

The phone rang for about ten seconds before being answered.

"Hello, Sister Jing?"

"I was having a late-night snack outside, and my phone died."

"Is the title track being released ahead of schedule?"

"I'm fine with it, but wouldn't that leave too long a gap between album releases?"

During filming, Shen Yan maintained communication with musicians and recording engineers, and the instrumental parts of the album were basically recorded.

But the vocals, as well as the other two music videos, haven't been filmed yet.

"The Ordinary Road as the second main theme?"

Upon hearing Huang Weijing's suggestion, Shen Yan pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Doing this will certainly maintain the momentum, but won't it conflict with the previous album plans?"

The reason why "The Ordinary Road" quickly became the second main single is simple: it is one of only two music videos that have been filmed.

It can be launched online.

However, its theme is quite different from that of "Bubble" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

"Has the proposal been revised?"

"Okay, I'll check right away."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan walked to the office area in his room.

"Junning, I still have some work to do. You should get some sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."

"I'm waiting for you."

Zhang Junning responded weakly.

A moment later, Shen Yan opened his email and checked the latest version of the album proposal.

A clash between Romanticism and Realism

The theme has been changed; it was originally titled "A Young Man's Heart, A Rendezvous Across Mountains and Seas."

The promotional copy remained largely unchanged.

"Shen Yan's first full-length album of original compositions is centered on 'youth narrative,' with ten original works divided into two chapters, fully presenting his musical worldview."

Disc 1 "Heartfelt Thoughts": Includes 5 lyrical masterpieces focusing on emotions and inner feelings, using melodies to depict the inner turmoil of adolescence.

Shen Yan's creative notes.

In my song: "Life is always full of unexpected moments of kindness, perhaps a fleeting encounter, perhaps a simple greeting..."

Mercury Chronicles: "We are always chasing after something distant, just as Mercury orbits the sun, separated by an insurmountable distance..."

Girl: "The fluttering of the heart during adolescence is always a bit clumsy and pure, like a summer breeze, unexpected yet clean and refreshing..."

Bubble: "In relationships, there are always moments that seem beautiful but are fragile, like bubbles, bursting with brilliance but eventually settling into calm..."

Boy: "Growing up is a transformation; we all gradually become better versions of ourselves over time..."

Disc 2 "Mountains and Seas": This collection includes five diverse tracks that combine power and reflection, expanding the boundaries of music with rock tension and philosophical insights.

The brightest star in the night sky: There will always be times of confusion in life. May every dreamer find the star that guides them forward...

The Ordinary Road: Most of us are ordinary people, walking ordinary roads and experiencing ordinary days... May we all create our own wonderful stories on the ordinary road.

Fascination: There's always something or someone that can make you cast aside all your worries and love wholeheartedly...

Toys: All the fancy toys are not worth showing off, because all of them combined cannot compare to the hugs and love that one should have but does not have...

Mountains and seas: Innocence was the foundation of our youth, but growing up always forces us to say goodbye to that purity... Mountains and seas silently embrace everything, allowing us to more firmly pursue our passions and distant horizons after bidding farewell to innocence...

... "

After reading the promotional copy, Shen Yan looked at the marketing plan.

The changes in this area are quite significant.

The first single, "You Exist in My Song," was released ten days ahead of schedule, while the originally planned second single, "Bubble," was replaced by "The Ordinary Road."

On January 10th, "The Ordinary Road" was released online.

then.

On January 25th, the third main track, "Bubble," and the fourth main track, "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," were released simultaneously.

The album will be released across all channels on February 3rd.

Upon seeing the date, Shen Yan laughed. Gold Typhoon was definitely doing this on purpose, as Zhang Liangying's new album "I Believe" was also released on this day.

Today, Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Liangying, and Jin Sha are known as the four little divas of mainland China. Releasing their music on this day, Shen Yan would never believe it's not a publicity stunt.

After a long while, having read the entire proposal, Shen Yan sent a reply email.

The core message is to agree to the proposal, but explicitly reject opportunistic marketing tactics.

There's no need for that. Jane Zhang only has one song, "If This Is Love," and he has four twos with a pair of sharp points.

With a dragon charging right at your face, how can you possibly lose?

After replying to the email, Shen Yan walked back to the bedside. At that moment, his older sister was already fast asleep.

too tired.

The battery is depleted.
