Shen Zhiwei has been following Lu Yuan for some time.
During this period of time, he had been following Fatty Wei in the crew, occasionally playing a small role. His life was quite fulfilling and he didn't think much about other things. However, as the days passed, after the filming of "Groundhog Day" was completed, Shen Zhiwei had some free time and found himself staying in the company and didn't know what to do for a while.
Only then did he remember his identity.
His real identity is a singer rather than an actor.
The task of a singer is to release albums, appear on various variety shows, hold concerts...
His position in the company is quite awkward.
There is another singer in the company named Wang Long. After Wang Long became popular online with "Sailor" and "Long Live Youth", he has been invited to participate in various singing programs and activities. Although these programs are basically third-rate channels, at least Wang Long is moving in one direction step by step...
And he...
He didn't know what to do.
When he was in Taiwan, he was a popular idol singer, but after he went to the mainland, he found that his fame was really minimal. In addition, he was vilified by Taiwan, so his image was greatly reduced.
This is undoubtedly quite fatal for a star.
So he is eager to prove his ability, at least to release an album to let everyone know that he is back, right?
In fact, he already has five songs in the album. Some of these five songs are his own original works, while some are written for him by his former friends who wrote lyrics and music for him.
He looked through these songs and studied them carefully. He found that they were all good, but they lacked a hit song...
Yes, the title song.
Finally, he thought of Lu Yuan.
In the office, Shen Zhiwei looked at Lu Yuan with some trepidation.
He felt inexplicably nervous when facing Lu Yuan.
He knew that Lu Yuan must be very busy recently, working on movies, overseas markets, and writing scripts...
and……
He knew that Lu Yuan's songs were not cheap.
These days, countless singers have openly or secretly wanted Lu Yuan to help write a hit song, but except for well-known figures in the entertainment industry such as Zhou Xiaofeng and An Xiao, Lu Yuan has never written a song for anyone else.
Lu Yuan looked at Shen Zhiwei silently.
Shen Zhiwei didn't dare to look Lu Yuan in the eye.
The two of them just remained silent.
The atmosphere in the office gradually began to become awkward.
A little bit of sweat appeared on Shen Zhiwei's palms...
He could even hear his own heartbeat.
"Actually, I have written your song."
About a minute later, Lu Yuan broke the awkwardness with a silly smile.
Have you written it?
In fact he wrote nothing.
But does it matter if I don’t write it? It’s not a big deal…
"Uh...that is..." Shen Zhiwei exhaled, and then was very surprised.
"But I'm not sure if that song is suitable for you. By the way, what type of songs do you plan to focus on in your album? I need to listen to the songs in your album before I can determine whether it is suitable or not."
"Um... Mr. Lu, I... I... I recorded a CD... I'll give it to you right away..." Shen Zhiwei was so excited after hearing this that his body trembled slightly subconsciously.
"how long?"
"About twenty minutes."
"Okay, go ahead, but don't rush. Take your time."
"good!"
Shen Zhiwei nodded and immediately turned around and left the office.
After Lu Yuan looked at Shen Zhiwei's back as he left, the faint smile on his face changed instantly. Then, without saying a word, he picked up a piece of paper and a pen...
Twenty minutes would certainly be enough.
He hesitated for a moment, then immediately started writing.
…
"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu... I... This is... my CD... You... huh."
“…”
Normally, it takes twenty minutes to walk from the company to where Shen Zhiwei lives.
But Shen Zhiwei didn't want Lu Yuan to wait too long, so he just ran away...
Shen Zhiwei shortened the twenty-minute journey to thirteen minutes.
When he knocked on Lu Yuan's office door, panting and holding the CD, he saw that Lu Yuan, who was sitting in front of him, seemed to have a slightly strange expression.
But he didn't understand what this strange expression meant.
"Brother Shen, as a star singer, I think the first thing you need to do is to stay calm and maintain your image. How can you be so breathless like this?" Lu Yuan inadvertently covered the paper and pen, but his expression was serious.
"I...Mr. Lu, I..." Shen Zhiwei lowered his head slightly.
"Brother Shen, I know you are in a hurry now, but look at your clothes, they are all wrinkled, and there is sweat on your body... We can't be impatient when it comes to music, slow work makes fine work, you know? Brother Shen, you are also an old singer... Well, forget it, leave the CD here, you go out and calm down first, wash your face and tidy up your clothes. Remember, image is very important, no matter who you are facing, image is very important!"
"good."
Shen Zhiwei nodded, put down the CD subconsciously and left the office.
although……
He didn't understand what Lu Yuan meant by "slow and steady work" and the wrinkles on his clothes had to do with it...
Slow work produces fine results?
I'm just going out to get an album, why do I have to take my time to do the job?
He was even more confused...
However, even though he was confused, he still ran to the bathroom as Lu Yuan said, washed his face, and tidied his clothes.
After he calmed down completely, he knocked on Lu Yuan's office door again.
"Brother Shen, I listened to your album briefly. The content of the album is pretty good, and the songs in it are OK."
"Yes, Lu Yuan, then..."
"This song of mine is indeed suitable for you, take a look..." Lu Yuan silently handed the manuscript to Shen Zhiwei.
"Oh... Mr. Lu, this..." Shen Zhiwei was a little confused when he took the manuscript and score.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Lu, I don't understand what you said. What is the name of this song, Northern Hemisphere?"
"Lonely Northern Hemisphere... This is loneliness..."
"Oh, um, the last few words on the first line are..." Shen Zhiwei lowered his head slightly, his voice sounding timid.
He tried to make his voice respectful...
"..." Lu Yuan took the manuscript in silence and looked at the words on it.
Then……
He found that he seemed to need to strengthen something else.
That's the word.
I'm used to writing in a sloppy manner, so when I write lyrics it's inevitable that they're messy.
"Forget it... How about this... I'll sing for you..."
"Ohhh, okay."
…
"Jinxue...let's have a good meal together at noon?"
"Why are you free to come here today?"
"I recently took on a role in a musical idol drama, and I just happened to pass by here. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came here..."
"Musical idol drama?"
"Yeah, it's that kind of affection and love and stuff..."
"You came here not only to see me, right?"
"Hehe, you guessed it all. You are worthy of being sisters..."
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
"I just want to find your Lu Yuan. I want Lu Yuan to write a song for this musical idol drama. Of course, it would be even better if Lu Yuan could participate in the drama..."
"Someone asked you to find Lu Yuan?"
"Yes, it's Huang Mingwei, um, the director who has been making idol dramas in Taiwan..."
"You went to Taiwan to develop?"
"No... this movie is a joint film between the mainland and Taiwan... I represent the mainland."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Wang Jinxue nodded after hearing An Xiao's words.
An Xiao has been doing pretty well in the entertainment industry these days. She sings well and is very beautiful. In the entire KP girl group, An Xiao has the best development. At this moment, her popularity has even begun to approach the first-tier. As long as she takes one more step and settles down a little, she will almost be a first-tier artist.
But this step seems to be very difficult. Singing all the time seems to have always prevented her from breaking through that limitation. So she discussed with her team and thought that maybe she could try a cross-border transformation...
In short, if you are good at singing, you can also act. Well, that’s roughly what it means.
Before, she had her eyes on the heroine of "Groundhog Day", but unfortunately Lu Yuan was not interested in her and rejected her without saying a word...
I refused, but I didn't give her any reason...
This made her depressed for a long time, and she even secretly vowed to never look for Lu Yuan again.
but……
Oaths and the like are always meant to be broken, aren't they?
Anyway…
This stubbornness didn't last for a few months. She came to see Lu Yuan again under the pretext of "sisters"...
"Is Lu Yuan busy?"
"Now I don't know. I haven't left the office and have been busy processing documents. But it was empty just now."
"Oh, then I..."
"It's not the right time for you to look for Lu Yuan today..."
"Why?"
"He seems very tired and not in a good state. Under such circumstances, he probably can't write the song you want..."
"Okay, then...well, wait, Lu Yuan is singing?" A hint of disappointment appeared on An Xiao's beautiful face.
However, at this moment, the sound of a guitar came from Lu Yuan's office...
Then...
"Use my good night to accompany you for breakfast
Remember to put your thoughts in the piggy bank
I look at the stars twinkling
I heard the Cowherd tell the Weaver Girl to be brave..."
Lu Yuan's soft, yet melancholy voice began to sing...
An Xiao was stunned.
I involuntarily left Wang Jinxue's office and came to the door of Lu Yuan's office.
The guitar was played softly.
At the same time, Lu Yuan's singing voice is also very gentle.
It was the first time that An Xiao saw Lu Yuan singing a song with this tune...
Wang Jinxue also walked out of the office...
She listened silently to the singing inside.
It's sunny outside the window.
It seemed that there was an indescribable warmth in his eyes.
This kind of warmth is not blazing, but it can go deep into people's hearts...
In the office.
Shen Zhiwei looked at Lu Yuan who had a serious expression...
He was stunned by what he saw and heard.
This is a good song!
Better than any song on his album!
At the same time, Lu Yuan sang very seriously, and even compared to professional singers, Lu Yuan's voice seemed to be accompanied by memories.
Then, he remembered Lu Yuan's other identity.
That's the singer...
Yes!
singer……
