Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Hongqiao Airport.

"Brother Yan!"

Seeing Shen Yan land, Na Zha stood on tiptoe and waved wildly. Seeing her jubilant appearance, Na Ti, standing next to her, looked at her sister with a look of disappointment and frustration.

Previously, she thought Shen Yan might have ill intentions.

Now, she is 100% certain, 100% sure that this kid has no good intentions!

In two and a half years, I dated ten people, averaging one every two or three months.

"Happy New Year, Naza, Nati."

Happy New Year, Brother Yan.

"Happy New Year."

After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Yan led Zhang Dandan and the two sisters outside. His attire today was different from usual.

They wore hats and masks.

He's been a bit popular these past two days.

Riding on this wave of "pink" traffic, his popularity skyrocketed, and he gained over 50 followers on Weibo, surpassing even Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang by tens of thousands.

Currently, only three people have more Weibo followers than him.

Big Mouth, Zhao Feite, Li Binbin.

However, most of the people who follow him on Weibo are just people who enjoy themselves, and many of them are male fans.

It is well known that male fans have far less spending power than female fans.

Being too rational doesn't make you a good investor!

This is also why male celebrities of the same caliber are subtly considered superior to female celebrities.

It has a lot of female fans, and those fans have strong spending power.

TFBOYS's three members have such good commercial endorsement resources, all thanks to the full support of their girlfriend fans and mother fans.

and so.

Shen Yan's 50 followers are largely inflated.

But the outside world doesn't know that. Just look at how many fans he has. What does that mean?

High brand recognition!

Subsequently, several production teams sent audition invitations to Tangren Media.

The most outrageous production team was for "The Temptation to Go Home," who wanted to invite Shen Yan to play "Hong Shixian."

That's really bold of you!

He only admitted that he had many ex-girlfriends, but he never cheated on his girlfriends or admitted that he was a scumbag!

Of course, there are reliable ones too.

The production team of "Summer's Desire" asked him to audition for the male lead and the second male lead.

However, Shen Yan did not agree to any of them.

His schedule is already full for this year.

In May, he will join the cast of "The Vigilantes in Masks" and film until August. Then, at the end of October, he will join the cast of "Love O2O" and film until January next year.

During the two off-seasons from February to May and from August to October, he was busy writing and recording songs for the first three months.

He will take a month-long vacation from August to September.

I promised to go out with Naza, and I will definitely keep my word.

September and October are the album promotion period.

Therefore, he didn't accept any of those film offers.

Nobody should try to make him work like a slave!

Even if Buddha Lulai came, it wouldn't work!

However, seeing how closely Nati guarded him, Shen Yan seriously doubted whether this trip would actually take place.

If Naza is unavailable, he can only try to get back together with the older sister for a month.

This morning, they broke up again.

Yesterday, Gao Yuanyuan flew to Luzhou specifically for the two of them to have a wonderful day of dating.

We officially broke up at 10 a.m. today.

After a satisfying meal, the older sister happily flew back to Yanjing.

A moment later, the nanny van stopped in front of a coffee shop.

The group entered the pre-booked private room, and Nati, with a complicated expression, took out a contract from her bag.

"Shen Yan, this...this is Tangren's contract."

"No need to look anymore."

As Shen Yan ordered six coffees, he casually pushed the contract back to Shen Yan.

"Most of the contracts used by Tangren are standard ones, and I don't think 'Xuan-Yuan Sword' is a very good resource."

"Old Hu and the others will be here soon. I'll make a long story short."

"Naza has no acting background. It's difficult for her to perform well when she's given such a significant role right away. Instead of signing a contract now, she should study at school for two more years and develop some professional skills before taking on roles."

"Isn't it better to become famous as early as possible?"

Nati said hesitantly.

"If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid I won't encounter such a good one again."

"With me here, there's no fear of missing out on opportunities."

Shen Yan smiled gently.

In his past life, Naza spent nearly a million on him. One should have principles and repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude.

It's several hundred thousand, so we have to return several hundred million in kind first.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the two sisters reacted differently; the joy on their faces was palpable, and their eyes sparkled.

As for Nati, her expression was a bit... a bit complicated.

To be fair, Shen Yan really helped them a lot, giving them guidance on the art exam and finding people to enroll them in training classes.

but.

Thinking about the news from a while ago, her trust in Shen Yan plummeted.

If we rate it on a 100-point scale, then Ti's level of trust in Shen Yan would be approximately 0.

Their favorability rating is quite high, around 7-80 points, since they genuinely wanted to help them.

"Sis, I'll listen to Yan-ge."

Before Nati could speak, Naza preemptively expressed his opinion.

"Yan-ge wouldn't do me a disservice. The art exam is at the end of the month, and then there's the college entrance exam. I need to focus on preparing for the exams and I must get into the Shanghai Theatre Academy!"

As she spoke, she silently added a sentence in her mind.

"Then I'll go to the Maldives with Yan-ge!"

Got it!

Got it!

Got it!

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Squeak.

The door to the private room was pushed open.

Hu Yanbing, dressed in a black down jacket, walked in with a smile, followed by a woman with long, wavy hair.

After a few pleasantries, Lao Hu made a formal introduction.

"Ayan, this is my junior sister, Huang Ling."

"Hello, Brother Yan." Huang Ling politely extended her hand and said, "Thank you very much for your invitation. I am especially happy to have the opportunity to work with you."

"Sister Ling, don't be so polite."

Shen Yan smiled and shook his head.

"You're Lao Hu's junior sister, we're all friends, no need to stand on ceremony."

In fact, Hu Yanbing, Huang Ling, and Xue Zhiqian are all from the same school; they all studied under the same professor in the vocal music department of Shanghai Normal University.

Shen Yan met with Huang Ling today to invite her to sing the theme song "A Glimpse of Beauty" for the TV series "The Weaver Girl".

"Haha, okay, then I'll act normal. Actually, I was tired too, just now."

"Um."

Shen Yan took the prepared contract from Zhang Dandan and then pushed it in front of Huang Ling.

"Here's the contract. Take your time to look through it. If there are no problems, sign it. I have some things to discuss with Lao Hu."

"Okay." Huang Ling made a gesture.

"Old Hu, listen to this, it's a new song I wrote."

Shen Yan handed over the earphones.

"Is that the song you were talking about?" Old Hu's eyes lit up as he curiously took the headphones.

"Yes, I recorded a demo. Listen to it and see what you think."

While making the demo, Shen Yan suddenly remembered half of a song.

He remembered that Lao Hu had written a song called "Welcome To Shanghai" in the future, which incorporated many elements of Shanghainese dialect.

Shen Yan didn't understand the Shanghai dialect very well, so he didn't remember it very clearly.

He asked Lao Hu to write lyrics, specifically a version in both Chinese and Shanghainese, just in case.

"Okay, I'll listen."

Hu Yanbing knew that this was a song Shen Yan wrote for the World Expo. He had also written one, but his song was for the volunteers.

To be honest, he was very shocked when he learned that Shen Yan had written a song for the World Expo.

For such a major event, the songs that need to be written have already been written; there's no need to write them on the spot.

The song he wrote for volunteers was completed and approved in 08, but it has been shelved for two years and has not yet been released.

But it'll be released soon, next month.

Although he was shocked, he didn't ask any further questions.

He doesn't value his friendship with Shen Yan.

Having similar interests is the key.

Hey!

Upon hearing the metronome and synthesizer sounds in the intro, Hu Yanbing retracted his previous thought.

Damn it!

This song has the same style as "Blank Space," both being retro 80s tracks, but this intro is way cooler than the other one.

The music style is retro, but the listening experience is modern and sophisticated.

The twenty-second intro almost brought him to tears.

Damn it!

He wants to report this!

Someone's cheating!

Then, human voices enter.

"Walking through a crowd the village is aglow

Through the crowds, the city lights shone brightly.

Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

The kaleidoscopic heartbeat beneath the coat

Everybody here wanted something more

Everyone here has aspirations.

Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before

Seeking a voice no one has ever heard

And it said

it says

Welcome to Shanghai

Shenhai welcomes you

... "

silence!

silence!

Silence is Cambridge tonight!

After listening to the song, Hu Yanbing remained silent for more than ten seconds.

Gan!

Even if this song were placed in the Western music scene, it would still be a top-tier composition and arrangement!

Moreover, it is traceable.

The song "Girl" from the debut album has an 80s retro vibe, but that song is a bit more retro.

Most of them are lyrical.

Unlike "Blank Space" and this song "Welcome to Shanghai," these two songs have a more modern rhythm.

stronger!

The latter, in particular, makes you want to tap your foot while listening to it.

God knows how hard he was holding back!
