Chapter 43 Issuance
Shang Yu looked at the phone for a long time, and finally smiled.
With enough sleep and this little "emergency" in the morning, Shang Yu was in good condition for the next whole day.
So much so that after recording "The Sparrow in the Cage" twice in the recording studio, not only Shang Yu, but other staff members also heard problems.
"Brother Shang," Wang Shan tried to express the awkwardness he felt just now, "I feel like you are a little..."
Overjoyed.
It doesn't match the mood of the whole song.
Shang Yu actually had similar feelings.
He patted his cheek, feeling a little annoyed.
Shang Yu warned himself: Although Brother Guan read your circle of friends, it doesn't mean anything.
It's possible to like it, hate it, or even brush it inadvertently.
It's okay to be happy, but there's no need to hold on to it.If the new song is delayed, everything will be hindered in the future.
Shang Yu tried his best to adjust his mood.
Of course, no matter how the "mood" is, it is just a spice to add color to the song.The most important thing is technique, singing skills, and even the voice itself.
When Shang Yu sat in front of the camera and plucked the guitar strings for the first time, and sang "The Road in a Small Town", some viewers posted a long music review in a popular forum at that time, saying that his voice is undoubtedly heavenly .
In the second half of the season, Shang Yu's style changed and he started singing rock and roll, which caused some scolding from fans before, who felt that he didn't cherish this gift from God.
But in the end, Shang Yu proved with his strength that whether it is lyrical ballads or violent rock, he can perfectly control all of them.Instead of letting his fans leave, the latter gathered a new group of supporters.
Today, he spends two full days in the recording studio.In addition to recording too many DEMOs before, when the recording version was finalized, Shang Yu's throat was a little hoarse.
It's not serious, it can add color to the song, but it can't be serious anymore.
Shang Yu kept his distance, took loquat cream in his mouth, took care of his food, and recovered Guan Cheng's capital.
When it came time to re-record the MV, because there was no time to set up a complicated new venue, a very simple scene was adopted: a white curtain, a huge golden cage with a diameter of two meters in front, and a large pink rose hanging down beside it.
On the other side of this spacious layout, there is a simple and elegant study room.The bookshelves and tables are in medieval European style as a whole.
In order to make up for the lack of scenes, the staff worked extra hard on the MV script and adopted narrative shooting techniques.
Shang Yu played two roles, and the filming was still divided into two days.
On his first day, he wore a teal, metallic mask and a white Grecian-inspired robe with wings on the back, and did most of the recording in a cage.
Before the official start of filming, the staff had a long dispute over Shang Yu's "cage bird" dress.The costume design draws clothes with intricate feathers that can be worn directly to the catwalk, and the effect on paper is very good.
But in the end, it gave way to the most practical problems.
They don't have time.
On the contrary, Shang Yu felt that the choice after "giving way" was better.
According to the original style of costume design, if it can be matched with film-level shooting, it may show a different charm.
But if everything is based on rushing work first, I am afraid it will appear shoddy and will be complained for a long time.
Now this is much more pleasing to the eye.
On the second day, Shang Yu put on an elegant shirt and tie, just like a medieval gentleman.
He had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and he was sitting at the desk reading. As long as he looked up, he could see the huge cage in front of him.
And his own little bird that was locked in it.
During the actual recording, the content of the two parts will be synthesized in post-production, so that Shang Yu in different clothes will appear in the same picture.
Edited after shooting, the result presented is very good.
The first shot is looking down, and slowly, the center of the frame focuses on the man in the cage.
Shang Yu wearing a mask seemed to be locked in a golden cage, unable to break free and unable to be free.
He is admired and raised.Sing to the person at the desk and make the other person smile when they are tired.
It's a poor "pet".
But as the song progresses and the story progresses, it will be slowly revealed that although the bird in the cage is in the cage, in fact, he himself does not want to get out.
On the contrary, the gentleman outside the cage opened the cage on his own initiative after a fierce dispute, and then left without looking back.
The caged sparrow looked at the gentleman's back.
He didn't appear to be happy, instead he just stood there, dejected, and started singing again, but he couldn't wait for the other party to change his mind.
The MV ends here.
A countdown electronic screen was hung in the studio, and the release time of the scheduled digital album was getting closer and closer.
On the night before the official release, Shang Yu suffered from insomnia again.
The scenes in the MV are always reflected in his mind, and because of this, he tosses and turns, asking himself: Will Guan Cheng watch it?
Will you think of him and yourself?
If he had looked at the lost painting, he presumably would.
No, actually the story itself is pretty obvious too.Every picture, every shot is telling Guan Cheng how much Shang Yu regrets, and how much he hopes Guan Cheng can give him another chance.
The "gentleman" character itself, to some extent, can be regarded as based on Guan Cheng.
Although he has never worn gold-rimmed glasses, Guan Cheng's cuffs and collar are always neat and meticulous like the characters in the MV.
Shang Yu has never met the rumored "unrestrained" Guan Cheng. When he met his lost lover, the other party was already what he is now.
In the back, Shang Yu finally fell into a deep sleep, and Guan Cheng's shadow was still in his dream.
After finally getting through the night, all the staff stayed in the office during the day.
The official release time is ten o'clock in the morning, and the bright red number on the electronic screen is getting smaller and smaller until it clears to zero.
Shang Yu knows the quality of his own works best.
He knew there was one good song on the album, eight good songs, and three songs that were above the line.
But the quality of the song itself is not the criterion for whether the audience likes it or not.
He heard his own heartbeat. If it was the past, Shang Yu felt that he might have to find another excuse to go to other places to calm down.
But now, he knows better that he is the backbone of everyone present.
He sat among the people, watching the new news that kept popping up on the computer.
The first wave of album buyers are naturally fans.
After 60 seconds passed, the expressions of the staff went from holding their breath to being surprised.
"30 copies!" Wang Shan almost yelled, "Brother Shang, 30 copies! Qinqin, we did it, we did it!"
Yu Qinqin had tears in his eyes, but Shang Yu was much calmer in comparison.
After the fans, the general audience gradually followed.
There are a lot of check-ins on social platforms, and the 15 yuan spent on buying the album is jokingly called "eat melon fee".
There are also many people who are amazed and feel that the story in the MV is too bold.
At the 10th minute, the marketing company that the studio had contacted before caught up and released a screenshot of the MV story line with a copy: "Shang Yu's new song is here! The title song "Cage Bird", this story is different from what I thought. So much the same."
"Shang Yu's new song! The blogger quickly finished watching the MV of "The Sparrow in a Cage". Damn, is this what I thought it meant?"
"I would like to share with you the MV of "The Bird in the Cage" haha, the story is really interesting. At first I thought the bird in the cage was weak and pitiful, but I didn't expect...[阴损][阴损][阴怪]"
"I talked about it before. After Shang Yu terminated the contract, he released the album immediately. It has been half a year since the last "Nan Ke Yi Meng". This is a bit delicate time, but it may be seen that Shang Yu's current financial situation is not good. But really After listening to the title song, I felt a little different..."
At the same time, Wang Shan's fingers trembled slightly, and he murmured, "50."
In 10 minutes, 50 digital albums were sold, breaking more than a dozen records on the platform.
Shang Yu looked at the employees who were already in the carnival, but his back was still a little stiff.
He stared at the numbers on the computer that were still jumping up.
After the initial rapid growth, until now, the growth rate has gradually slowed down, but still showing an incredible upward trend.
Judging from the current trend, before the end of today, no, within twelve hours, the album sales will break through the million mark.
But this is only the sales volume and cannot be linked to the "wind review".
Shang Yu is very clear that a large part of the 50 albums today are due to fans.
After going through the previous gloomy September, the confused October, and the two statements a week ago, and a police receipt, the emotions of the fans were stretched to the extreme.
So much so that the staff in charge of fan operations in the studio sensed that something was wrong, and used the official account several times to persuade them, hoping that fans would do what they can and not disregard their own lives for the sake of album sales.
Shang Yu himself also recorded a short video, mentioning that he hopes his songs will be heard by more people, not just fans.
After all, fans may love "Shang Yu" more than "Shang Yu's Song".
Shang Yu is a singer, which is not something he should be proud of.
Time pulls back to the present.Beside Shang Yu, Wang Shan and Yu Qinqin hugged each other at some point, weeping with joy.
The sound of sobbing pulled Shang Yu's mind back, and he seemed to fall into the world again from the clouds.
Shang Yu blinked slowly, thinking: When did the two of them get along so well?
I thought again: 10 minutes have passed, and the first batch of music critics may have sent out their evaluations.
Yu Qinqin also thought of this.She wiped away her tears, and with a smile on her face, she returned to her post to struggle and analyze the emotions of the audience.
What happened about a week ago was really too uproarious. Now, "The Sparrow in a Cage" has soared to the second place in the hot search, and there is a trend to go up.
Click to see, except for a few hot spots occupied by Shang Yu's studio and fans, there are more discussions among ordinary netizens.
The screenshot of the MV has been reposted countless times. Yu Qinqin looked at it for a while, half surprised and half funny, and said to Shang Yu: "Brother Shang, there are still people writing fanfics about your two characters."
Shang Yu: "..."
He actually wanted to see his and Guan Cheng's fanfiction.
Just thinking about it, I also know that this is impossible.
Yu Qinqin said: "This is a good thing, and it can further expand the audience."
After saying a word, she entered a few keywords into her computer and started running data non-stop.
I also sorted out the analysis of some well-known music critics, and concluded: "Everyone is boasting, not just "Cage Sparrow", but also other songs. Brother Shang, you really did it!"
Throughout the day, the studio was immersed in a mood similar to excitement.Everyone looked at Shang Yu, showing some sincere admiration.
Fans felt that what happened a week ago was caused by someone secretly making trouble and framing Shang Yu;
Netizens felt that it was an overly exaggerated hype, and even the current comments included a few sentences, "Actually, with the quality of this song, even if it is not the previous one, it will still be popular."
Only the members of the studio know what brilliant creative sparks Shang Yu burst out under pressure.
The author has something to say: In private, Shang Xiaoyu found a fanfic about a bird in a cage x a gentleman, and replaced the "gentleman" with "Guan Cheng"→_→
