Huayu: Starting from an Unemployed Male Model

Chapter 82 Concept of the First Album

Wei Jun found a coffee shop nearby, ordered a cappuccino, and sat there to while away the time.

He took out his phone, scrolled through his WeChat Moments for a while, and found that Jing Tian had posted a photo of the two of them at the gym that morning.

The accompanying image is a nine-grid layout, containing nine photos, six of which are group photos.

Wei Jun didn't like the post; he just opened a photo of Jing Tian showing off her cleavage, zoomed in for a look, and then closed it.

He rarely likes posts on WeChat Moments, even if the posters are his close friends, such as Li Qin and Xu Lu...

After scrolling through his WeChat Moments, he opened his phone's notes app. He was preparing to release an album. As a singer, how could he not release an album?

The album concept is roughly as follows: "There is nothing beyond the heavens, but love stirs up emotions." The album focuses on love and includes ten songs about different aspects of love, representing themes such as "regret," "disappointment," "darkness," "sweetness," "questioning love," "reminiscence," and "cherishing."

The title track is "Something from Outer Space," a pop-rock song that refers to someone who is different from others in one's own life.

"High Sweetness" is a collaboration between Wei Jun and Zhao Liying called "Thinking of You". He had already written it and sent it to Zhao Liying. She liked it very much, and the two agreed to release the song when "Princess Agents" was broadcast.

In his previous life, Wu Yifan wrote the lyrics and composed the music for this song. He and Zhao Liying collaborated on the variety show "72 Floors of Mystery". The two were very compatible and were promoted as a couple by the production team. After that, the two collaborated on this song. When the song was released, the entire Chinese entertainment industry was in an uproar.

The two even sang this song together at the Jiangsu TV New Year's Eve concert. At that time, the CP fans "Aili Xiaowu" went crazy for it, and the solo fans of the two went crazy, chasing each other to kill each other. The whole song became popular in the Chinese entertainment industry in a unique way.

"Ask for Love" is G.E.M.'s version of "The Only One".

"Dark" has a somewhat rebellious style, and Wei Jun plans to buy the Russian rights to adapt it.

"Disappointment" is the song "Take It All Away". Wei Jun has the deepest impression of this song. It was inspired by Hu Yanbin's reading of "Shuangzi's Book". Shuangzi has not yet published the book, but Wei Jun has already written it, registered it, and sent it to his colleagues. It has received great praise.

"Cherish" is from G.E.M.'s song "Countdown," which suggests that in a limited amount of time, there are infinite possibilities for love, and we should cherish the people around us.

"Feeling nostalgic" is Li Ronghao's "Young and Promising", which is a kind of remembrance of past relationships.

"Regret" is Zhang Yuan's "Guest".

This album can be considered somewhat diverse in style, incorporating elements of pop, rock, ballads, and R&B.

There are still two songs left, and Wei Jun doesn't know which one to choose. Maybe he should add some rock love songs? Folk love songs? Traditional Chinese style love songs? Hip-hop love songs? Or try rapping? He can only think about these later.

When Wei Jun was writing his first album, he came up with many concepts, some were more literary and artistic, some were more intense, and some were a mix of fantasy and reality. Unfortunately, many of them were difficult to write. There were far too few good songs after 2017 compared to the year 2000.

The reason he chose love as the theme is not only because of the songs, but also because he debuted on a dating reality show, and his debut was about love, so he figured his first album should also be about love.

Songs about love are the easiest to write.

Just as I was about to write down the lyrics, a message came through on WeChat.

Tea Girl Liu Haocun: [Brother Wei Jun, look at how well I'm learning the opera singing style, blushing/jpg]

Immediately afterwards, a video of more than ten seconds popped up.

Wei Jun clicked on the video, which showed a little girl named Liu Haocun wearing a blue training uniform and with pigtails.

She took a deep breath, waved her right hand forward, and exclaimed, "Oh my God..."

The voice is high-pitched and bright, and the transition between true and falsetto is natural.

She learns so fast! This little girl is talented; she's definitely not Zhang Yimou's mother.

Wei Jun: [Learning really fast, thumbs up/jpg]

Tea Girl Liu Haocun: [It's all thanks to Brother Wei Jun's excellent teaching, grinning/jpg]

Wei Jun: [Don't we need to go to Director Zhang's for training today?]

Tea Girl Liu Haocun: [Today is my day off, but I'm practicing extra at school, so smug/jpg]

Wei Jun: [When you're resting, take a proper rest and make sure you balance work and rest.]

Tea Girl Liu Haocun: [I only started practicing after I had rested. Brother Wei Jun, you also said that as long as I keep working hard on this path, we will meet again someday. Happy/jpg]

Tea Girl is quite eloquent. Wei Jun chatted with her for a few minutes and then stopped, starting to write songs.

When the time was right, we drove to Huairou Film and Television Base to visit Wu Jing's film crew. This would be the last thing Wei Jun did in Beijing.

Wei Jun arrived at the entrance of the "Wolf Warrior 2" film crew and called Yu Nan to let her know that he had arrived.

About five minutes later, Yu Nan led Wu Jing, a short-haired man wearing a blue tactical T-shirt and military pants, who walked lightly and occasionally tiptoed.

"Wei Jun, I've long admired your name." Wu Jing stepped forward and extended his right hand.

"Director Wu, hello." Wei Jun also extended his right hand.

The two held hands tightly. Wu Jing tightened his right hand slightly, wanting to test Wei Jun's mettle and see if he was the legendary strongman who could run a dozen laps without getting out of breath while carrying a heavy wooden gun weighing several kilograms.

Wei Jun noticed the force of Wu Jing's right hand and tightened his grip accordingly.

The two laughed at each other, competing with each other, each trying to outdo the other in strength. As one of them increased his strength, the other also increased his.

Wu Jing was strong, but he couldn't compare to Wei Jun, who had the advantage of the entry. However, he didn't want to embarrass Wu Jing, so he pretended to be at a stalemate with Wu Jing.

Yu Nan shook her head and chuckled. Wu Jing was sometimes like a tomboy, very competitive, always wanting to compare this and that. Seeing the two of them locked in a stalemate, she could only speak up to stop them: "Alright, neither of you are children. You're just playing these pointless games."

Seeing Yu Nan trying to smooth things over, Wu Jing laughed heartily, released his grip, and, with his right hand behind his back that had turned red from being gripped, reached out his left hand to pat Wei Jun's shoulder: "Well done, the instructor was right, you really are a good candidate for the army."

"Come on, I'll show you around our film crew." Wu Jing pulled Wei Jun into the film crew.

Along the way, he talked about the difficulties the crew faced in its early stages, how he overcame the problems encountered during filming, and how he single-handedly handled everything from securing investment to managing the crew's meals. He spoke with his head held high, a hint of pride in his voice.

Wei Jun knew the personality of this type of person. He was a bit like Huang Zitao, a white phosphorus type of man who would get angry at the slightest provocation but would become obedient with a little coaxing. However, Wu Jing's personality was a little more complicated, well, with a bit of Jiahao boy persona added to it.

Wei Jun complimented him a few times, and he smiled throughout. The two had only known each other for a short time, but they felt like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

However, Wu Jing was still very competitive, and he challenged Wei Jun to a shooting contest.

He knew that Wei Jun had practiced shooting at the military base, so he wanted to have a competition with Wei Jun.

Wei Jun took the Remington M40A1 sniper rifle, raised it like a primary school student, activated the "Weapon Master" entry, then aimed at the small shooting ring 10 meters away, fired, and hit the bullseye.

The sniper rifle uses blank bullets, with an effective range of 5 to 10 meters. Beyond 10 meters, the bullets become less effective. Wu Jing placed a specially made small shooting ring more than 10 meters away. Given the small size of the shooting ring, it was very difficult to hit the bullseye completely.

Wu Jing was initially confused when he saw Wei Jun's strange movements, but a few seconds later, Wei Jun executed a series of perfect shots, hitting all ten rings in a row.

"it is good."

Wu Jing clapped his hands, and the other crew members on the side also clapped, praising Wei Jun's superb marksmanship.

Wei Jun thought the people in this film crew were ridiculous and wicked. A 10-meter ring? That's what they call superb marksmanship? They weren't ashamed, but Wei Jun felt embarrassed.

I suspect they were corrupted by Wu Jing, who is good at flattering others to death. Once we get to Africa, we'll show them real marksmanship.
