Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

"Brother Yan, you were so cool just now."

On the waterfront promenade near Victoria Harbour, Zhang Dandan was already quite adept at using flattery, and while it was called flattery, it was genuine.

"With such great offers, aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

"Is that okay?"

Shen Yan glanced at his assistant, Zhang Dandan. Although she was young and lacked professional skills, she hadn't informed Tangren before Huayi poached her last time, but had told him first.

At that time, Zhang Dandan caught his eye.

Loyalty is more important than ability, especially when it comes to those around you.

"I find it very tempting."

Zhang Dandan stuck out her tongue, then realized something and quickly explained.

"Brother Yan, I'm not speaking up for her. I've never even met her. I just think this opportunity is too good to pass up."

"Actually, you should think about it carefully."

Shen Yan smiled slightly.

"Besides that guitar, what has Qi Yalai given up? The acquisition she mentioned is still just an intention, it hasn't been finalized at all. No matter how eloquently she talks, it's just empty talk."

"Furthermore, it's not that easy for a Chinese person to truly break into the mainstream Western entertainment industry. I don't want to become someone's toy."

Toy?

Is it that serious?

Zhang Dandan looked completely bewildered, her eyes filled with confusion.

"You'll understand after you see it more often."

Shen Yan shrugged and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He rarely smoked, but when this topic came up, he suddenly felt like having one.

He's not just keeping me company; if he had that kind of awareness, he would have taken off long ago in his past life.

Watching Shen Yan lean on the railing, facing the sea breeze and gazing at the night view of Victoria Harbour, Zhang Dandan suddenly felt that Brother Yan seemed a little melancholy.

but.

He's handsome too.

Click.

Hearing the shutter sound beside him, Shen Yan turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and asked, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Why are you taking pictures of me?

"So cool!"

Zhang Dandan couldn't wait to share, showing off her phone screen.

"Look, this expression, this atmosphere, I think it's super, super beautiful."

Shen Yan looked down at the photo and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In the photo, his profile is sharp and clean, with smoke swirling around him, giving off a vibe reminiscent of Zhang Guorong in "Happy Together" smoking in a car.

It was truly stunning.

How can I enjoy such a beautiful picture all to myself?

"Send it to me."

"oh."

A short while later, after receiving a picture from Zhang Dandan, Shen Yan casually posted a Weibo post.

[The sea breeze mixed with the sound of ship horns inspired a new song]

The accompanying picture is, of course, that photo.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

Today, we came to Victoria Harbour mainly to take a walk with my assistant and relieve the fatigue from the continuous schedule.

Shen Yan had visited Hong Kong quite often in his previous life, mainly to accompany his wife shopping.

hum!

hum!

As soon as he got into the car, Shen Yan's phone vibrated twice.

[Gao Yuanyuan: You've arrived in Hong Kong?]

[Shen: Ah, I just arrived this afternoon]

[High: JW Marriott Hotel 2908]

Upon seeing the room number, Shen Yan's lips curled into a slight smile.

My older sister is the best; she's simple and straightforward.

the other side.

Seeing Shen Yan's Weibo post while staying at home, Liu Shishi became even more certain.

She must be heartbroken.

That woman from Taiwan not only seduced men sexually, but also deceived their feelings; she's done absolutely nothing but bad things.

sad?

Shen Yan must be incredibly happy right now.

The older sister debuted early, is rich, and lives in a sea-view suite.

Turn off most of the indoor lights and then face the night view of Victoria Harbour.

Don't have a taste.

A day apart feels like three autumns; the older sister is not only clingy, but has also developed a bit of a gluttonous habit.

This struck Shen Yan as odd.

Last time, I had to coax and trick them.

After thinking about it, Shen Yan stopped thinking about it. What other reason could there be?

The older sister is sensible.

"Where are you going?"

At 2:30 a.m., Gao Yuanyuan, who was lying dead on the bed, was surprised to see Shen Yan walking out.

"I just had a bit of inspiration. I'm going back to get my computer and work on a demo."

After saying that, Shen Yan took the room key and quickly left the suite.

Strictly speaking, he didn't lie to Gao Yuanyuan.

I was definitely inspired.

He was looking at Victoria Harbour when a song came to mind.

"Summer Washing Stone"

This is a single released by the Orange Ocean band in 2019. It's a Britpop song with a great atmosphere.

It has a similar vibe to the song "The Boring Life After Lunch." Although the two songs have different styles, they create a great atmosphere.

After the release of their debut album, it received rave reviews, but there were also quite a few negative ones.

Although Shen Yan divided the album into sides A and B, with each side corresponding to a different theme, it does feel a bit scattered.

For the second one, he planned to unify the theme.

"Rushing to the mountains and seas, living up to our passion" is the theme of the second album, which is related to the last song of the first album, "Mountains and Seas".

Before long, Shen Yan returned to the suite with a MIDI keyboard, notebook, guitar and other tools.

"Um?"

He pushed open the door and saw Gao Yuanyuan leaning against the living room sofa, and he was surprised.

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

"I'll be waiting for you."

Gao Yuanyuan propped her head up with one hand, her eyes sparkling.

"Moreover, I also want to hear our great talent's masterpiece in advance and be the first listener."

"That might take a while."

"It's okay, I'll stay with you."

While Shen Yan was away, Gao Yuanyuan went to the bathroom to check again, but perhaps because the time was too short, it was ineffective.

However, she took the photos with a high-definition camera.

Make a note of it first.

I'll check again tomorrow.

"OK."

Shen Yan smiled, quickly arranged the items, and then began to 'write' a song.

The arrangement of "Summer Soseki" is actually quite simple.

Drums, bass, electric guitar, keyboards—the standard rock formula.

After typing and making some modifications, Shen Yan created a rudimentary demo in less than two hours.

"I want to hear it, I want to hear it."

Seeing that Shen Yan had finished, the older sister quickly raised her hand.

She often "messed around" while composing the music, and if she hadn't been sneaking food, Shen Yan would have finished much earlier.

Never underestimate a woman's determination to become beautiful!

Even if it's only the slightest possibility.

"Listen."

Shen Yan rubbed her head and then put the earphones into her ears.

Press the play button.

The next second, the deep bass and loose drumbeats were the first to enter her eardrums.

Immediately following, a clean guitar riff with a slight delayed echo seamlessly transitions into the intro, combining different sounds of guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard.

It feels like being on the beach at dusk in summer, with a gentle breeze, lazy and soothing.

What's the name of this song?

After a while, Gao Yuanyuan took off her headphones, her bright eyes staring unblinkingly at Shen Yan, her eyes filled with amazement.

"What do you think of the name 'Orange Ocean'?"

Shen Yansheng developed a slightly wicked sense of humor, with many people mistaking "Summer Soseki" for the band name, while the band name "Orange Ocean" was mistakenly taken as the song title.

"Orange Sea?"

"Yes, the sunset is bathed in the orange sea."

Shen Yan smiled and pinched her cheek.

"And I am captivated by your gentleness."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan's bright and charming eyes instantly became watery, like autumn water or a spring pond.

broken!

This is a sign that things are starting again.

Sure enough, the older sister pounced on her.

……

early morning.

Shen Yan left the sea-view room, yawning repeatedly.

The ocean view room almost turned into an ocean; if his body hadn't inexplicably improved after his rebirth, he really wouldn't have been able to handle it.

"Brother Yan, you didn't sleep last night?"

Upon arriving at the hotel restaurant, Zhang Dandan saw Shen Yan looking like he hadn't woken up yet and went up to him with concern.

"If you're really too tired, why don't we rest a little longer?"

"It's nothing. I wrote a song last night and stayed up all night."

Shen Yan waved his hand.

"I'll just take a nap on the way."

After quickly satisfying their hunger, the two headed straight to the commercial radio station.

Yes.

The radio station is called Commercial Radio Hong Kong, one of the most famous radio stations in Hong Kong. Many key figures in Hong Kong's record industry came from Commercial Radio Hong Kong.

Chen Huihong was a DJ at a commercial radio station in his early years.

"You Exist in My Song" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" also performed well on Commercial Radio's 903 recommendation chart. Last week, the latter ranked sixth and the former ranked tenth.

After recording the Commercial Radio program, Shen Yan rushed to Metro Radio, where he had originally arranged a TVB appearance with Gold Typhoon.

However, the market for Mandarin albums in Hong Kong was too small, and at his strong request, Gold Typhoon cut some of the announcements.

Only a few radio interviews were recorded.

Around 3 p.m., Shen Yan headed to his final stop, Hong Kong Radio Station.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan also woke up.

Ignoring the soreness all over her body, she rushed into the bathroom immediately.

a long time.

She received a result that was both surprising and delightful.

It really works.

She carefully compared the photos with those taken yesterday and found that the fine lines at the corners of her eyes and the under-eye bags had faded, and her skin had become more hydrated and radiant.

Even my hair is smoother than before.

That makes absolutely no sense.

How come my skin has gotten better after losing so much moisture?

These are all joys.

What's alarming is that if things are exposed, wouldn't Shen Yan become easy prey for Tang Sanzang?

Going a step further, will it be sent for slicing?

Previously, she mostly wanted to experience it, but last night's song and those words really moved her, and she unconsciously started to consider things from Shen Yan's perspective.

What?

Should she keep it a secret and continue to enjoy this "benefit," or should she tell him what she's discovered?
