Chapter 1651 - 1320: Frozen
Chapter 1651: Chapter 1320: Frozen
Still March.
This morning.
Lin Yuan received a call from Jin Mu: "Shadow’s new movie has already started promotion and is expected to be released at the end of the month, but there are still two songs that haven’t been recorded yet, so you need to hurry up."
Yes.
Shadow has a new animated movie about to be released.
This animated movie is a new production by Dream Factory, with investment from Starlight, and the director is credited as "Shadow."
In fact.
Dream Factory has already produced several new animated movie works.
It’s known that since the establishment of Dream Factory, they have not only provided content for Blue Star Children’s Channel but have also never stopped making animated movies.
The scripts are, of course, provided by Shadow.
However, Lin Yuan is often busy with Xian Yu and Chu Kuang’s affairs, so he has neglected the progress of animated movies. Fortunately, over the years, they have managed to produce several very good animated movies.
The animated movie that is about to be released is called "Frozen!"
Yes, it’s the same "Frozen" that was famous on Earth for creating a box office miracle!
For the movie’s voice acting, Lin Yuan directly contacted the Yu Dynasty.
The voice of Queen Elsa was given to Jiang Kui.
Because Jiang Kui is releasing a new album in March, and two songs from "Frozen" need to be included in the album.
One of them is "Let It Go."
Just right.
Lin Yuan wants to use this movie to improve Shadow’s director rankings.
When the moment comes for Shadow’s reveal, his directorial achievements can be added to Lin Yuan’s true identity.
The achievements in film by combining Xian Yu and Shadow might give Lin Yuan’s film ranking a significant boost.
He has already witnessed the power of merging identities!
Don’t forget.
Shadow’s film ranking is also in the top 100.
Currently, it’s ranked seventy-seventh, but this is because Shadow previously only released one animated movie, "WALL-E."
If more animated movies can attain an excellent ranking, the combined film ranking boost for Lin Yuan afterward will definitely be explosive!
Thinking of this.
Lin Yuan forwarded the promotional message for "Frozen."
Instantly.
On the internet.
Netizens were excited:
"Shadow’s new animated movie is coming out at the end of the month, I’ve been waiting for his new animated movie ever since ’WALL-E’ was released!"
"Yes indeed!"
"I definitely want to see it!"
"The Shadow God is finally releasing a second animated movie!"
"I still remember the plot of ’WALL-E’ to this day!"
"WALL-E is indeed a classic, but the new movie is even more worth looking forward to. The promotion says the movie score is by the old rascal Chu Kuang (dog head)."
"Ha."
"Chu Kuang doing the score isn’t bad."
"There’s nothing wrong with this, after all, the old rascal is Fish Papa, and the music for Shadow’s films and animations seems to be handled by Fish Papa."
"Good friends for life!"
"The promotion also says this is a musical animated film."
"What is a musical animated film?"
"Probably means integrating music into the plot and dialogue?"
"Sounds interesting."
"The main music is handled by Fish Papa, and when the music matches the plot, the effect must be extraordinary."
"Not just the music by Fish Papa, the voice acting is also mostly by people from the Yu Dynasty, like the theme song seems to be sung by Jiang Kui."
"Say no more, I’ll buy the ticket, okay?"
"Buy buy buy!"
"Maybe you’ll bump into Fish Papa at the theater (dog head)."
"How come?"
"Fish Papa posted a status to help promote ’Frozen’ and said he would watch it with family and friends."
"Then you still won’t meet him, he’ll book a theater."
"Wait, is Shadow suddenly starting to do animated films again, maybe aiming for a high film ranking?"
"Huh?"
"Could it be Shadow saw Lin Yuan at the double top rank and wants to get a double top rank himself too?"
"Just making animated films wouldn’t be enough, right?"
"This is hard to say, Shadow might just turn those comics into live-action, the demand online is high, all wanting Starlight to adapt Shadow’s comics into live-action TV series or films."
"Goodness, is this even possible?"
"Normal people make it to one top chart, but how are Shadow and Lin Yuan so different from others?"
"A world of genius."
...
In a certain sense, netizens guessed the truth.
At least Lin Yuan does have the intention for Shadow to hit the film charts.
And after the movie promotion was released, Lin Yuan began pulling Jiang Kui to record new album songs.
Xia Fan’s album theme is "Youth."
Zhao Ying Ge’s album theme is "If."
Jiang Kui’s album theme is surprisingly "Me."
Because the songs in the album contain some of Jiang Kui’s self-expression.
For example, the lead song of the album is "Invisible Wings," Zhang Shaohan’s song has been worn out on Earth, but it didn’t stop its inspiring nature from having once encouraged countless people, so when Lin Yuan brought out this song, she immediately liked it.
The second song is called "Legend."
This was composed by Li Jian, known as the Music Poet, and Faye Wong took this song to the Spring Festival Gala, once popular in the music scene.
The third song is called "Red Bean," also a work by Faye Wong, even one of her representative works.
The third song is called "Smile and Forget the Book," which is a Qi language song arranged by Lin Yuan for Jiang Kui, still a work by Faye Wong.
The fourth song is called "A Love Letter to Myself," fitting the theme of "Me."
This song and "Smile and Forget the Book" share the same tune but with different lyrics, the former in Qi language and the latter in Mandarin.
The fifth song is called "Let It Go."
The sixth song is called "Do You Want to Build a Snowman."
These two songs come from "Frozen," and the album includes the English versions, as having English songs on an album is a tradition.
The seventh song is called "Snowy Splendor."
The inclusion of Chu language songs is also a tradition, so Lin Yuan brought out "Snowy Splendor," one of Nakajima Mika’s representative works, with a beautiful and classic melody, covered by countless big-name singers.
The eighth song is called "Coral Sea."
Jay Chou’s song, another album tradition, requires a duet between Lin Yuan and Jiang Kui.
The ninth song is called "Painted Heart."
Zhang Liangying’s song, with a segment of dolphin notes at the end, perfect for Jiang Kui’s performance.
The tenth song is called "I’m Willing."
This album includes many songs by Faye Wong, including the last one.
The reason is probably because Jiang Kui’s voice has a very ethereal quality, so Lin Yuan subconsciously chose songs based on this standard.
It turns out Lin Yuan’s choice was accurate.
Jiang Kui sang these songs in her own style, harmonizing and differing from Faye Wong’s style, creating a very pleasant listening experience overall.
When recording "Let It Go" Zhao Ying Ge was also present at the scene.
In Zhao Ying Ge’s words, March is once again the rhythm of a divine album.
But to allow the audience to better appreciate the charm of the two English songs in the album, this album will be released at the end of the month, coinciding with the timing of the animated movie "Frozen."
In this wait.
The end of the month finally arrived.
On this day.
All the major cinemas on Blue Star.
Countless audiences came for "Frozen," filling up the halls.
At the same time.
A cinema was booked out.
Lin Yuan, his family, the Yu Dynasty members, and his childhood friend Jian Yi sat in the cinema, chatting happily while waiting for the animated movie to start.
Amidst the chat.
Jiang Kui suddenly asked Sun Yaohuo: "I heard you’re organizing the entire company to come to the cinema to watch this movie today?"
Everyone turned to look at Sun Yaohuo.
Everyone knew clearly how good Sun Yaohuo was as a representative, but "Frozen" is obviously Shadow’s movie, so why is this guy sucking up?
Sun Yaohuo’s voice was loud:
"Because I have always respected Teacher Shadow, this feeling is the same as respecting a junior, as long as it’s a work by Teacher Shadow, I’m willing to fully support it!"
Lin Yuan’s family’s eyes turned strange.
Lin Yuan also looked at Sun Yaohuo, he actually had some vague suspicions before, could the senior be as smart as the chairman, but deliberately pretending not to see through it?

PS: A note here because some readers might not have seen a previous extra so not clear, Sun Yaohuo already guessed the truth about the Three Bros.
