One person's entertainment

Chapter 7, It’s not too late for you to transfer schools now
After talking about business, the saying "all crows are black" is proven true.

Shen Lingyou took 30% of the profits from the distribution of the tapes and CDs of "Heart Too Soft" and Red Star Production Society took 70%.

The reasons are: singles are not selling well, new artists are not well-known, piracy is rampant, and there is great uncertainty about profits and losses.

"No matter what era it is, newlyweds are like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others."

Shen Lingyou spat fiercely on the ground, as if venting his anger.

Singers are similar to actors. If they don’t have giftedness, talent, or background, it will be difficult for them to make progress.

The superstar level is a different matter, but how many singers can be as popular as the Four Heavenly Kings, with packed concerts and explosive album sales?

It was already 10:30 in the evening when Shen Lingyou returned to the dormitory. If he had been any later, he would not have been able to enter the school gate or the dormitory gate.

"Where have you been? Why are you back so late?" Liu Huohua and the others were preparing to turn off the lights and go to bed.

"I'm going out to do something." Shen Lingyou didn't elaborate.

"Ling You, can you lend me your Walkman?" Chen Minghao asked with a grin.

"Here." Shen Lingyou took out a walkman from his small bag and threw it to him.

"Be careful. I know you have money, but this one costs two hundred dollars. If it breaks, I will feel bad even if you don't." Chen Minghao caught it nimbly and then complained.

The walkman that Shen Lingyou uses is not a knockoff brand, but one from Aiwa, one of the best walkman brands. It is a new product jx959 that was just launched this year, equipped with a bbe system, and the earbuds are v141 with a wired remote control.

In the 90s, walkmans came out and became popular. The two most well-known brands were Aiwa and Sony. The latter was better but also more expensive, costing thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. The former was not bad either, with a better price-performance ratio, but one was still only about one or two hundred yuan, which was quite expensive.

Generally, your family will buy you a Walkman when you go to college. If someone’s Walkman is lost in the dormitory, it is enough to make you depressed for a while.

"Hurry up and wash up, the lights are about to be turned off." Qin Hao reminded him at this time.

Shen Lingyou took a towel and toothbrush and went to get some water to wash up.

As the temperature turned cooler, he still insisted on washing with cold water.

He attributed his sudden death in his previous life to his poor health. No matter how much he achieved in this life, at least he had to have a good body.

"Ling You, are you hiding something from us?"

"Do you consider me your brother?"

"Quickly, tell the truth!"

As soon as he came back, he was questioned by three roommates. Shen Lingyou was confused and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Liu Huohua shook the Walkman in his hand and chuckled, "Is the song playing in it the one you sang?"

Qin Hao didn't wait for him to speak, and said first: "Don't deny it, your voice is always unique, I know it's you as soon as I hear it."

Chen Minghao smacked his lips and said, "Everyone said you sang well and conquered the interviewer with that. I didn't expect you to sing so well and even burn it into a tape. Ling You, you hid it well enough!"

After they finished speaking, Shen Lingyou remembered that he had forgotten to take out the tape of the remastered version of "Heart Too Soft". He just listened to it, it was no big deal, and immediately said with a smile: "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

Qin Hao clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, awesome!"

Chen Minghao said with a strange expression: "Why do I feel like you got into the wrong school? You should go to the Central Conservatory of Music next door."

Liu Huohua said with a smile: "It's not too late for you to transfer to another school now. When you become a big singer in the future, you can take us with you."

Shen Lingyou said nonsense in a serious tone: "What the hell, my dream is to become an excellent actor, so of course I have to pass the entrance exam to study here. Singing and writing songs are just a hobby."

Chen Minghao gave a thumbs up and winked, "What a good dream!"

Liu Huohua said with reason: "Acting and singing are not contradictory. Take the Four Heavenly Kings for example, which one of them is not an actor and a singer, and has also won the Best Actor and God of Song awards."

"Wait!" Qin Hao thought for a few seconds, then pointed at Shen Lingyou and said, "You just mentioned singing and writing songs, right?" Shen Lingyou saw that he was startled and didn't understand what he meant. He nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Qin Hao took a deep breath and said, "You wrote this song!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Huohua and Chen Minghao also reacted. They both widened their eyes and opened their mouths, looking at Shen Lingyou in surprise.

Shen Lingyou answered again: "I wrote it."

"Fuck!"

"Brilliant!"

"My brother, you are awesome!"

After the confirmation, there was a wave of praise.

There are many people who can sing and sing well, and there are also many people who can write songs and write good songs. However, there are very few people who can do both and write them well.

Who would have thought that there was one in their 96 acting class at the Central Academy of Drama.

Shen Lingyou made a "hush" gesture and said, "Alright, alright, keep your voice down, don't attract Auntie."

"Ling You, are you planning to release an album?"

"Ling You, are you planning to debut as a singer?"

"Ling You, have you written any other songs?"

The sound was lowered, but it did not stop them from asking questions.

Shen Lingyou answered all the questions he could, and just perfunctorily answered the questions he couldn't answer.

The four of them chatted until the lights went out, and then they stopped to sleep late into the night.

If I didn’t have classes tomorrow, we could probably chat until dawn.

When Shen Lingyou woke up early the next morning, he was in a particularly good mood because the release of the single had been settled.

Chen Jiantian is responsible for the shooting of the MV. He will be called when it is ready.

He didn't take a brother or mobile phone from his store, but a pager, which is cheap now.

The group went to the cafeteria to have breakfast and then went to the classroom for class.

The acting class has more than just acting classes. There are also vocal classes (bel canto, popular, folk), dialogue classes (monologues, ancient poems, essays, novels, character dialogues, script excerpts) and body classes (modern dance, ballet, folk dance, opera movements). These are all compulsory courses, and the focus is still on acting classes.

This morning, there was an acting class that gave everyone a headache and great pressure.

"In fact, performing a play is a very simple thing. Anyone can do it, right? That's not the case. First of all, the basic skills of acting, 'voice, stage, shape and performance', are not a simple thing..."

"It's a very good thing that you have a dream of becoming a star, but I want to raise a very serious question: how do you realize this dream? Students, you really should think about how to realize it. It's definitely not what you imagine. Just being pretty won't do. To be honest, because we are dealing with some issues of character, an actor's personality and character are very important..."

"Okay, three boys and three girls, come up. I'll give you a performance topic, and you perform it according to the topic."

Everyone was suddenly frightened.

Teacher Chang, you are explaining it so well, why do you want people to go on stage to perform?

At a glance, I found that even after going to college, I was still like an elementary school student. When I heard the teacher calling on people to answer questions in class, I lowered my head and prayed silently in my heart, "Don't call my name."

"Shen Lingyou, Dang Hao, Zhao Huinan, Mei Ting, Zhang Xun, Yuan Xun."

If no one volunteers, then I'll call the roll. Chang Li is not a friendly person in class.
