142: Chapter 142 New Album Recording Completed

Lin Chuyan ignored Zheng Hai's shock and re-recorded all the previous songs, striving for the best.

He still had to practice the 5 new ones provided, so he couldn't record them directly for now.

However, he and Zheng Hai managed to work out the song order for the album. After discussing for a long time, they finally reached a consensus—starting with "ambush from ten sides" and ending with "General," which fit the concept of the self-titled album "Lin Chuyan" quite well.

As for the MVs, Zheng Hai planned to shoot at least 6 for him, and they had to be refined; they couldn't be shot as simply as the "rebirth" EP.

Anyway, there was no need to worry about production costs now; this kid had many fans, and coupled with his confidence in this upcoming album, it was bound to be profitable; it was just a matter of how much.

"Brother, for the MV of 'ambush from ten sides,' let's have Xingxing and me appear in it! I have an idea."

"What idea?"

"Shoot it abroad, find some nice-looking European architectural complexes, hire some foreigners to play assassins, and include some gunfights and chases. Well, this refers to the paparazzi who are hot on our heels. The rest of the MV will be me holding Xingxing's hand, being chased, running away... In short, make it look beautiful."

Good kid, looking for an opportunity to travel on the company's dime with his girlfriend, huh... Zheng Hai couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

However, this idea didn't seem bad? At the very least, it would definitely turn out fine.

"This creative idea is good. Did you think of it suddenly?"

"Yup."

Not really, he had seen it in his previous life, just recreating Jay Chou and Zhou Xun's MV.

...

After finalizing the new album matters, Lin Chuyan left the Tianxing Building.

Then he received a call from Wu Yue: "Xiao Yan, 'the long season' has been settled."

"How much?"

"It ended up being 300,000 per episode."

"That's not bad..."

"Yeah, we asked for 400,000, so it's normal for them to haggle. In any case, securing the role steadily is the most important thing."

"Yes, yes, absolutely right, Brother. I feel that if I play this role well, it will attract even more fans than Prince Xiao Ran. We won't have to worry about the pay later; it will definitely continue to rise."

"Very good, you've graduated; your vision is very long-term." Wu Yue expressed his gratification, "I'll have the lawyer look at the contract later, and if there are no problems, we'll sign it."

"Alright, when are we shooting? How long will it take? Where will it be shot?" Lin Chuyan asked three questions in a row.

"In Yunnan Province. Come to think of it, I haven't been there yet. They are preparing to start shooting in the next few days. I also asked about the opening ceremony, and they said it's optional... I feel this Director Han really doesn't just value your current traffic; he's impressive. They plan to shoot there for 4 months. Although you aren't the lead, they still requested 1 month of your schedule, starting in mid-May."

"Hmm, then I won't go to the opening ceremony. It's perfect; I'll work hard and finish recording the rest of the album this month."

...

After lying at home watching "drama" for half a month, it was time to get busy again.

The following month, Lin Chuyan spent it very fruitfully.

Regarding song recording, because of the System, Lin Chuyan was famously fast at recording songs.

He perceived it himself. With 200 points in Singing Ability, he had just reached the threshold of a professional Singer.

What is a professional Singer? To put it simply, he was now a top-tier presence if he appeared on any professional singing competition show.

Thus, these 5 new songs, as his proficiency improved, were also recorded very quickly.

The rest was just waiting for Tianxing to do the post-production.

Besides the recording, Tianxing had also written the creative proposals for his new album MVs.

The ones finally decided for MV production were "ambush from ten sides," "finding myself," "changing myself," "the ordinary road," "a little red flower," "lonely patient," and "General."

13 songs, 7 MVs. Among them, "ambush from ten sides" actually used Lin Chuyan's idea, but because Ruan Xingyu was busy, this one would be put aside for now, while the others were proceeding in an orderly manner.

He didn't remember the MV for "General" very well, but Tianxing captured the characteristics of the Chinese style very well, and with the addition of fixed chess elements, the final result was pretty much the same.

"finding myself" also followed the lyrics, with deserts and oases, and the special effects were currently being completed.

"the ordinary road," at Lin Chuyan's request, used car elements, for which he specifically added 20 points to his Driving Skill.

After everything was completed, Lin Chuyan lay at home, finally having time to chat with netizens.

His Weibo followers were now approaching 10 million.

However, he knew clearly that followers didn't mean fans. He kept an eye on this month's data; when there were no works or events, it was quite bleak. He only gained 4 mediocre silver treasure chests, which only yielded some points.

How to put it, better than nothing.

Since he had nothing to do, Lin Chuyan logged into Weibo and started editing.

"A report: This month I have finished recording my new album, a total of 13 songs, all re-recorded. Everyone can look forward to it."

Netizens didn't expect that this guy either wouldn't speak, or when he did, it would be such explosive news.

No, it can't be that fast, right?

How long has it been? Doesn't Lin Mo need to sleep?

13 songs, 1 month. Doesn't Lin Chuyan need to sleep either?

"Brother, you're so fast, slow down, little sister isn't in a hurry."

"Damn, another male 'little sister'."

"Awesome! If you can maintain the quality of the EP, I'll definitely buy it in the future!"

"13 songs... Daily question: Why is Lin Mo so awesome?"

"I don't know why, but I'm suddenly a bit worried about the quality of the new album..."

"Indeed, too fast. Honestly, what's the rush? It's been less than half a year since the EP was released. Better to polish it more; fans aren't unable to wait."

"Damn, you guys are really... I give up. Who are you looking down on? Don't look down on Lin Chuyan, and don't look down on Lin Mo, okay! His previous creative level is right there, are you blind?"

These were all normal discussions, and Lin Chuyan ignored them.

However, the Haters arrived, albeit late, and soon the comment section became chaotic.

"Got a newcomer award and now you're getting cocky? Hilarious."

Reply: "People who have always stood on the ground can't stand seeing others fly higher and higher. Understandable."

"An album every half year? I can't hold it anymore. Let's see how you die later; the new album is destined to flop."

Reply: "Go to a temple to pray; it won't work with me."

"It's too funny. I've never seen a major album recorded this fast. What does 13 songs mean? Honestly, it's normal to spend a year recording it. You tell me that a piece of trash like Lin Chuyan, who is constantly neglecting his work to act, going online to roast people everywhere, and has absolutely no depth, has now finished recording a major album? One month, does the quality of this thing even need to be said? Let's put it this way, even if Lin Mo is awesome, he can't save him!"

Reply: "Hello, are you from Dunhuang? There are so many murals."

"A blind guess: Lin Chuyan has a conflict with Tianxing, and they've started to brush him off, while he's still foolishly kept in the dark. The reason is simple: a normal Singer releases an album every two years on average. If they are fast, one album a year in the early stages of creation is normal. 13 songs in half a year and recorded in one month—if it's true, the quality is worrying, and you can just announce it's dead on arrival."

Reply: "The thing I hate most is you blind-guessing trolls. You're so good at 'averaging,' why don't I share some of my IQ with you? So you don't say things that expose your lack of intelligence and make people laugh."
