All-rounder Artist-Chapter 853 - 808 Sugar
"Oh, right."
After receiving the script, Ol' Zhou hesitated for a moment, then spoke,
"Uncle Zhou was wondering if I could ask you for a favor?"
"Hmm."
Lin Yuan said, "Uncle Zhou, there's no need to be polite."
Ol' Zhou said sheepishly, "This is a personal favor, nothing to do with company matters."
"It's fine."
Since joining the company, Lin Yuan had received a lot of care from Ol' Zhou, and he kept all these in mind.
"Alright then."
Ol' Zhou pulled out a red invitation from his jacket, "My daughter is getting married at the end of the month, and she is a huge fan of yours, so I'd like to invite you to her wedding. Of course, I won't tell her in advance; that way, it can be a surprise at the event."
"Sure."
Lin Yuan accepted the invitation without much consideration.
Seeing Lin Yuan's unhesitant action, Ol' Zhou couldn't help but smile, "If you're free, feel free to bring your family along too."
"Hmm."
Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Congratulations, Uncle Zhou."
Ol' Zhou became sentimental, "She's my only daughter, and I've been too busy with work in the past, owing her a lot. I've always thought about making it up to her. Later, when she went to college and studied abroad in the Han Continent, she brought a boyfriend back home, and now in a blink of an eye, she's getting married."
Ol' Zhou rambled on, then suddenly changed the topic,
"Speaking of marriage, you should also hurry up. Didn't that girl ask you out last time?"
"Who?"
"Look, you even forgot. Well, if forgotten, then forgotten, maybe it just wasn't meant to be."
"..."
The two chatted for a while, and Ol' Zhou left.
Back at home.
Lin Yuan took out the invitation and happened to mention Ol' Zhou's daughter's wedding to his family, and casually asked them,
"Do you guys want to go?"
Mom said, "It's your boss's daughter's wedding, I should go."
"Then I'll go too."
His sister was recently unemployed and just hanging around at home.
His sister was curious, "Are you going to sing on stage? Your song 'Love Balloon' is quite popular among newlyweds."
"Sing?"
Lin Yuan was taken aback; he really hadn't thought about that.
Seeing Lin Yuan's reaction, his sister knew there was no such arrangement and smiled,
"That's true, with your current status, singing on such a small stage doesn't seem quite fitting. Let's just go there and have a meal together."
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows.
In fact, he wasn't burdened by such thoughts; he just hadn't considered it before.
Ol' Zhou had always taken good care of him.
His daughter's wedding, performing a song for the newlyweds, wouldn't be a problem.
If he did so, Ol' Zhou would probably be happy too.
But perhaps Ol' Zhou was too shy to suggest it.
Considering this.
Lin Yuan flipped open the invitation and checked the date:
September 30th?
The wedding day was just before the season ranking day.
A thought crossed his mind.
Maybe he could leave the couple with an unforgettable wedding.
Meanwhile.
The words Ol' Zhou had said to Lin Yuan came back to him:
His daughter had studied in the Han Continent...
His son-in-law seemed to be from the Han Continent...
Got it.
Soon Lin Yuan made a decision.
He had a song that would be perfect to sing at a wedding.
...
Lin Yuan didn't plan to perform this song alone.
Back in his room.
Lin Yuan made several phone calls.
"Xia Fan, I've prepared a new script for you. We plan to start shooting next month, but before that, do me a favor and come to the company tomorrow..."
"Senior Yao Huo, are you free tomorrow? I remember you can play the bass..."
"Jiang Kui, come to the office tomorrow. We've got a song to practice. I'll send the score over first."
"Zhao Ying Ge..."
"Madam Haoyun..."
"Chen Zhiyu, you played the guitar well... "
After a few phone calls, Lin Yuan directly gathered everyone from Yu Dynasty.
The next day.
Yu Dynasty assembled in Lin Yuan's office.
Lin Yuan presented a song, "This is the song I'll be using to compete in the charts next month, and I'd like to invite all of you to sing it with me. Of course, your parts are very small; I'll be handling the majority of the singing."
"A group song?"
Everyone couldn't help but get excited.
Last time they all sang a bunch of Bluelympics songs, and their popularity surged tremendously. Since then, everyone had been looking forward to a similar opportunity.
Now the opportunity had arrived.
As for how much singing each person was allotted, nobody really minded; the main appeal was the collective format of the Yu Dynasty.
They received the scores.
Everyone was surprised, "A Korean song?"
Lin Yuan nodded, "Can you manage Korean?"
"We can!"
Everyone chimed in unison.
Lin Yuan nodded, "Then we'll record in a few days."
"Alright."
Everyone nodded again and soon began humming a few lines from the score.
A few minutes later, everyone exclaimed:
"This song is so good!"
"The melody is perfect for the charts!"
"Looks like Teacher Admirable Fish's championship song for next month is secured!"
"The rhythm is just perfect!"
"Such a sweet song!"
"The song's name is 'Sugar,' how could it not be sweet!"
You're right.
The song in everyone's hands was indeed 'Sugar'.
A famous piece by the rock band Magic Power, it's considered one of their signature songs.
Originally, the song was solely sung by the lead singer.
Lin Yuan planned to make a few minor changes, allowing everyone a chance to sing some lyrics, but overall, the feel would still lean towards the original.
Once everyone calmed down,
Lin Yuan spoke up, "I have an idea for the music video for this song. Since Uncle Zhou's daughter is getting married, I plan to bring everyone to crash the wedding, and there will be a filming crew recording the whole thing..."
The music video for 'Sugar' is classic!
The concept was inspired by a film called 'Wedding Crashers.'
In the music video,
led by lead singer Adam, the band Magic Power crashes various wedding scenes.
As the curtain falls and the music begins, the bride, groom, and guests all start to boil with excitement, dancing along with the song.
Lin Yuan thought this concept was very interesting.
As a semi-realistic music video, it could significantly boost the song's sales during the season.
Most importantly, he could use the original music video's creative idea to surprise Uncle Zhou and his daughter.
As Lin Yuan finished explaining, everyone was stunned by the creativity!
"That is so romantic!" Wei Haoyun praised.
"Such a great idea!" Xia Fan, who had been feeling down recently, couldn't help but smile.
"I'll play the guitar!" Chen Zhiyu volunteered immediately.
"I can handle the bass pretty well!" Sun Yaohuo also looked expectant.
"And I can play some synthesizers!" Jiang Kui added eagerly.
"Sounds fun!"
Zhao Ying Ge exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone was eager to give it a try.
After discussing it, Lin Yuan also shared his ideas with Uncle Zhou, as they needed his cooperation.
"Then I can't thank you enough!"
Uncle Zhou, upon hearing this, was thrilled and his face flushed red, "Uncle Zhou owes you one!"
"You're welcome."
Lin Yuan waved his hand.
