Chapter 9 Warmth
There is indeed news about Lin Yi and Yu Nuannuan.
At first, Yu Nuannuan wasn't famous, and no marketing accounts shared her story.
When Yu Nuannuan showed signs of becoming a sensation, Xinghuo Music's public relations department stepped in.
Whenever someone releases a video or photo of Yu Nuannuan and Lin Yi, it is quickly suppressed by Xinghuo's public relations department.
At this point, someone added:
"I remember now, but if I remember correctly, the song Yu Nuannuan sang the most back then was probably 'Nuannuan', right?"
Although this song wasn't as popular as "Encounter".
"Warmth" and "Encounter" were songs that Lin Yi wrote for Yu Nuannuan at that time to earn a living.
Both of them were quite poor at that time.
Yu Nuannuan is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.
Since she showed a love and talent for music when she was a child, Grandma Yu decided to postpone the adoption plan and work hard to support Yu Nuannuan's music studies.
But Grandma Yu wasn't exactly rich, and the government wouldn't reimburse Yu Nuannuan for her music lessons.
The orphanage already faces a significant burden in covering the necessary expenses for Yu Nuannuan's music education.
This was the result of Yu Nuannuan working part-time while studying.
As for Lin Yi, before he transmigrated, his parents died in a car accident.
What's outrageous is that the original parents each drove a car, and both of them were drivers.
Let me reveal one more thing.
Two cars, four people, one man and one woman in each car.
Unable to bear the blow, the deceased squandered the meager inheritance left after the compensation and then hanged himself in his rented room.
He even specifically chose a ruthless landlord who frequently withheld tenants' security deposits.
Closer to home.
The two agreed to collaborate on a live performance at a music restaurant, with one providing the songs and the other providing the performance, and the profits split 50/50.
Note: In order to support the development of the music industry, Xia Guo offers preferential tax rates to livehouses.
Many restaurants have transformed themselves in order to reduce taxes, which has provided job opportunities for many singers and musicians from humble backgrounds.
To support original musicians, Xia Guo also stipulated that original songs must reach a certain proportion.
The earliest song Lin Yi wrote for Yu Nuannuan was "Encounter".
The song was very well received, earning Yu Nuannuan a long-term residency opportunity.
"Warmth" was written later and can be considered their love song.
"Warmth" is also Yu Nuannuan's favorite song, and the one she sings the most.
However, in terms of popularity, it certainly can't beat "Encounter".
Even the music restaurant was eventually renamed "Encounter" instead of "Warmth".
But for some long-time customers, "Warmth" is more meaningful than "Encounter".
"It's been so long since I've heard a live version of 'Warmth,' could you sing it for me?" someone whispered, their voice full of anticipation.
But this suggestion was quickly dissuaded in whispers by those nearby:
"Stop joking around. Sister Nuannuan is a signed singer with a management company. It would be easy for her to breach her contract if she just sings outside."
"Yes, there are a lot of rules..."
The music restaurant has many customers who know a bit about the entertainment industry, and they explain things quietly to those around them.
The murmurs gradually subsided, but the atmosphere, a mixture of nostalgia, curiosity, and a touch of regret, still lingered.
As Yu Nuannuan listened to the discussion, she tightened her grip on Lin Yi's hand slightly.
She looked at Lin Yi, her gaze seemingly traveling back nine years.
Would you like to hear me sing?
Lin Yi nodded; "No matter when, no matter where."
Yu Nuannuan released Lin Yi's hand and got up to walk towards the stage.
The surrounding chatter subsided again until it fell silent once more.
"Hello, may I borrow your guitar?" Yu Nuannuan asked the singer on stage.
"Uh, no problem."
"Thank you," Yu Nuannuan said, taking the guitar and briefly testing it before starting to play.
"Anything is fine."
I'm willing to go to anything you say.
The swaying melody of the little train
It could all be true...
Below the stage, everyone raised their phones, turned on the flashlight function, and swayed their bodies to Yu Nuannuan's singing.
On stage, Yu Nuannuan sang with increasing passion, her gaze frequently drifting towards Lin Yi.
'Nuan Nuan still loves singing and the stage so much,' Lin Yi thought to himself.
Although Yu Nuannuan said she was going to retire from the entertainment industry to come back and be with Lin Yi, Lin Yi knew that she still longed for singing and the stage.
Lin Yi couldn't write a new song, and it wasn't easy to get songs for him, so Yu Nuannuan said that because she didn't want Lin Yi to feel pressured.
(Specifically referring to high-quality songs with the potential to become hits, and songs of hit song caliber.)
After finishing one song, Yu Nuannuan sang another, "Encounter," before reluctantly putting down the microphone.
Afterwards, the two left the restaurant and returned to their apartment.
...
apartment.
Lin Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the missed calls on his phone.
A strange phone call from Shenzhen?
Lin Yi's heart stirred.
Penguin's headquarters are in Shenzhen, after all.
He just submitted his video to Tencent Video last night, and he got a reply tonight. How efficient is that?
Suddenly, a notification popped up in Lin Yi's phone notification bar: someone had requested to add him as a QQ chat friend.
Lin Yi clicked on it and took a look.
The information provided is: Zhuo Yuanhang, Director of Tencent Video.
The profile picture is a landscape image.
Blue sky, water, white clouds.
The clouds in the main subject of the picture are stunning, resembling a leaping horse.
The reflection on the water perfectly replicates the colors of the sky, maximizing the sense of depth and atmosphere in the picture.
With a single leap, the steed achieves its goal.
Well shot, the meaning is clear.
Lin Yi's application was approved and a note was added.
Penguin Video Director Zhuo: Hello, are you Mr. Lin Yi, head of Earth Studio? I am Zhuo Yuanhang, Director of Penguin Video.
Lin Yi from Earth Studio: Hello Director Zhuo, I am Lin Yi.
Director Zhuo from Tencent Video: Mr. Lin, we have received your studio's script, "Detective X." After evaluation, we believe this project has great potential.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, not expecting to reach the department director level so quickly.
Is Tencent Video really that efficient?
How come they're being suppressed by the other companies?
Penguin Video Director Zhuo: We've read the script, and it's excellent. I'd like to know about the subsequent content of the script, and approximately how many episodes are planned for the complete series?
Lin Yi's submitted script only included "Murder on the Orient Express".
If there's no padding, this case would take about 90 to 120 minutes to film, roughly 2 to 3 episodes.
This is too short for a TV series.
Lin Yi from Earth Studio: The complete script for the first season consists of 6 cases, totaling 12 episodes.
Zhuo, Director of Tencent Video: A very solid structure.
Director Zhuo from Tencent Video: I don't know if you can send us the complete script. We need to review the complete script before we can give "Detective X" an accurate positioning.
The television drama industry in Xia Kingdom has fully adopted a screenwriter-centric system.
Before deciding whether to invest in a TV series, video websites will ask the writing team to provide episode outlines or a complete script to assess the project's feasibility.
Director Zhuo's request was reasonable, and Lin Yi readily agreed.
Lin Yi from Earth Studio: Sure, I will send the complete script to the official email address of Tencent Video later. Please check your inbox.
